Current Electricity:When electricity (the movement of electrons) flows through an object due to an imbalanced charge
Conductors : Materials that allow electrons to flow through them easily (Aluminum, Copper, Gold)
Fair Conductors: Materials that let electrons flow through but not very easily (salt water, body)

Fair Conductors: Materials that let electrons flow through but not very easily (salt water, body)
Insulators: Materials that block the flow of electrons (Cotton, Rubber, Glass, Wool)

Ground: To use a conductor to connect an object to the ground (or earth) so that electrical charge can flow to the ground and be dispersed
Battery: turns chemical energy into electrical energy by causing a chemical reaction inside the battery between two different metals and an acidic solution. The reaction causes electrons to congregate at the "negative" end and provides a steady flow of electrons.
