To test that air is a bad conductor of electricity, you can set up a simple experiment by connecting a circuit with a battery, a light bulb, and two metal plates with a gap between them. When the gap is filled with air, the light bulb should not light up, showing that air does not conduct electricity well.
A continuity test is a simple test, used to determine whether there is a break in a circuit. This can be done, for example, using an ohmmeter which passes current through the circuit from its internal battery -a deflection (analogue meter) or a '000' reading (digital meter) indicates that there is continuity. A continuity test MUST NOT be performed on an energised circuit, as this will likely damage the ohmmeter and present a shock hazard to the user.
Stones are typically insulators because they do not conduct electricity well. However, some stones may have impurities that allow them to conduct electricity to some extent. It's always best to test conductivity directly if needed.
