Design and Make a Conductor Testing Insect!

After investigating electric circuits, with a particular focus on conductors and insulators, I challenged my students to design and make a conductor testing circuit. This circuit is disguised as an insect and the insect’s antennae serve as two ends of a circuit. When a conductor is placed between the antennae the bulb on the insect’s face lights up.

This idea is based on an idea presented in the book Esperimenti tax-Xjenza, translated into Maltese by Clare Azzopardi and Miriam Teuma.
