Electricity can flow through some kinds

of materials, but not through others.

Materials that electricity can flow through are

called conductors. Metal and water are both

conductors. By contrast, materials that electricity

cannot flow through are called insulators. Plastic,

glass, fabric, and wood are all insulators.
