Insulators & Conductors Sort

We created this anchor chart after experimenting with circuits to determine which classroom objects were insulators and which were conductors.  Students recorded their experimental data in their science notebooks as they conducted their research.  Afterward, as a class, we put together this chart to make our learning permanent and visible.
