Experiment: Testing Conductors and Insulators

This experiment tests different everyday materials to see whether they are conductors or insulators of electricity. Using a simple circuit with a battery, wires, a bulb, and a switch. Each material is placed into the gap in the circuit. If the bulb lit up, the material was a conductor, and if the bulb stayed off, it was an insulator. The results showed that metals like coins and paper clips are conductors, while materials such as plastic, rubber, and wood are insulators. (Adatia et al., n.d.)

This video shows me conducting the experiment. I am testing different everyday materials to see if they are conductors or insulators of electricity. By placing each material into a simple circuit, I observe whether the bulb lights up. Materials like metals allow electricity to flow and are conductors, while materials such as plastic, rubber, and wood are insulators.

Gr 4 Natural Science and Technology test

It is a fill in worksheet

Learners will need to have knowledge about energy and sources. Terminology of sources, stored, input and output, energy transfer.

Hello, my name is Moegamat Qaaniet Stellenboom, member 3 of Group 10 for the NASC165 Unit 2 project.

I am responsible for creating content on Energy and Change, including sharing an experiment, information about an energy company, creating a poster, and a video demonstration of a simple electrical circuit. Through this project, I hope to deepen my understanding of how energy is used in our daily lives and how to teach these concepts creatively to learners.

Hi, I am Jessica Dippenaar a Student at Two Oceans Graduate Institute. I am one of the members of Group 10 for this project. I am responsible of Exploring Energy and Change and the topic is Source of Energy Gr 6. Made a voice note on Energy and change in our daily lives. With a class worksheet which is a test. If a learner would do the test is about the theory they have learned in this series. Throughout this platform it is always interesting to learn more and broaden my knowledge.

Electrical circuit: system for transferring electrical energy from one place to another.

Cell: a source of electrical energy that stores and then supplies energy to a circuit.

Battery: two or more cells connected to provide electrical energy.

Components: parts of an electrical circuit.

Electrical current: the movement of electrical charges through a conductor.

Conductor: a material that allows electrical current to flow through.

Insulator: covering on circuit wires that keeps electrical current in the wire.

Switch: a component for controlling whether current flows in an electrical circuit.

Buzzer: device that converts electrical energy to sound energy.

Motor: converts electrical energy to movement energy.

System: something that is made up of two or more parts that work together to do a specific job.

Input: a component that goes into a circuit and provides the energy to the circuit.

Output: a component that causes the result in a circuit due to the input components energy.

Fossil fuel: the remains of dead plants and animals that store energy from the sun from millions of years ago.

Non- renewable energy resources: resources such as coal that cannot be replaced when they are used up.

Renewable energy resources: energy sources that cannot be used up.

Power station: a place where electricity is generated.

This video provides information about Sasol, a South African energy and chemical company. Sasol is well known for producing fuel, electricity, and chemical products by converting natural resources like coal and gas into useful energy forms. The company plays a major role in South Africa’s energy sector and contributes to the economy by creating jobs and supplying energy products. The video explains how Sasol works, its importance in everyday life, and also mentions how the company is working towards cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions (Sasol, 2013).

This assignment helped me understand Energy and Change better, especially through the practical experiment and the circuit video. I learned how to apply the scientific method in a hands on way and improved my research skills while working on the CAPS content and energy company task. Even though group work was sometimes challenging, using Padlet made collaboration creative and interesting. Overall, the project was a valuable learning experience.

In this video, I demonstrate a simple electrical circuit using a battery, wires, a switch, and a light bulb. Each component is explained while I connect the circuit. The video shows how electricity flows when the circuit is complete and how the bulb lights up when the switch is closed. This activity also applies the scientific method, helping learners understand the importance of conductors, energy sources, and control in a basic electrical system.

Good day. I am Gairuneesa Mallie and I am Member 2 of Group 10.

I found the task interesting and fun. It allowed me to do research, reflect, and be creative. I enjoyed the group activity, because the task was broken-up for each member to do a section of the task. One of the challenges we as a group have experienced was making contact with each other to start the process. Fortunately, we were able to allocate all members and created our own WhatsApp chatgroup. On the WhatsApp chatgroup, we communicated, supported, and guided each other where needed.

1. Energy – The ability to do work or cause change.

2. Source of energy – Something we get energy from (e.g., food, wood, coal, oil, natural gas).

3. Stored energy – Energy that is kept in something until it is used (e.g., food stores energy for our bodies).

4. Input of energy – The energy that goes into a system, machine, or appliance to make it work.

5. Output of energy – The useful energy we get out of a system, machine, or appliance (e.g., light, heat, sound, movement)

6. Transfer of energy – When energy moves from one place to another (e.g., from a battery to a torch bulb).

7. Wood – A natural source of stored energy that can be burned to make heat.

8. Movement energy – Energy that makes things move (kinetic energy).

9. Sound energy – Energy we hear, such as music or drumming.

10. Light energy – Energy we see, such as from a torch.

My overall experience with any Natural Science task is always making me excited. I am a Science person always want to find out why is the end result the end result. It was really fun working with the members of the Group. Thank you to Moegamat for creating the padlet. The process was smooth and no hassle.
