Some materials that conduct include gold, wood, steel, water, and even copper. Most metals conduct well and are used to carry heat or electricity. Aluminum is another metal that conducts well.

Why do some materials conduct light and others do not?
Materials conduct light when they allow it to pass through without absorption or scattering, such as in transparent materials like glass or water. In contrast, materials that do not conduct light either absorb or reflect it, such as in opaque materials like wood or metal. The electronic structure and molecular arrangement of a material determine its transparency to light.
Why do some materials conduct electricity?
Some materials conduct electricity because they have free electrons that can move easily through the material when a voltage is applied. These free electrons carry the electric current. Examples of materials that conduct electricity well include metals like copper and aluminum.
What fabrics conduct eletricity?
Materials that conduct electricity well include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver. In contrast, insulating materials like rubber, plastic, and glass do not conduct electricity. Some fabrics that can conduct electricity are conductive fabrics made by weaving metal threads with conventional fibers.
What sticks to a magnet but does not conduct electricity?
Some examples of materials that stick to a magnet but do not conduct electricity include plastic, wood, glass, and paper. These materials lack free-moving electrons, which are needed for electrical conductivity.
What is a science fair project name for what materials conduct electricity?

Do all materials conduct electricity?
yes all materials conduct electicity , but some are good conductor , some poor and some very poor
What materials will not carry or conduct electricity?
Insulator materials will not carry or conduct electricity.

What are the conductors of a circuit?
Everything - it wouldn't conduct at all otherwise. Some materials conduct better than others, like the conducting wires.

Why do materials that conduct heat also conduct electricity?
copper, metals...
Can a tap conduct electricity?
Most water taps are made of metal and will thus conduct electricity, but some may be made of plastics or other nonconducting materials.
What materials conduct heat and which do no?
the materials like metal(which have free electrons) conduct heat and light both and those materials which are formed by covalent bond (do not have free electrons) generaly non metals do not conduct heat and electricity.

Do materials that conduct heat also tend to conduct electricity?
Usually, yes.
