A good conductor carries lose ions easily. For example metal is a good conductor. Metal wires are used for electricity since they are good conductors.
To learn about conductivity we did a lab. In this lab we were to test a variety of elements. To do this we choose six diffrent substances: lactose hydrate, collsium cloride, sodium acctate, corn syrup, molloscc, and citric acid. Then we put a little of each substance into six diffrent cups and tested there conductiviy. To test the conductivity we had a conductive meter. The conductive meter determined the level of conductivity on how bright the light shown. (1-not really conductive, 2-kinda conductive, 3-conductive, 4-very conductive)
Results:
According to the results lactose hydrate, sodium acetate, and molosses are very conductive, meaning they all have lose ions which carry easily.
In conclusion conductivity is a form of conducting electric current, heat or sound.
