Conductors,Semiconductors, and Insulators

Today,my topic is about Conductors,Semi-Conductors, and Insulators...


What is a Conductor?
For me,it is a material that allows electricity,light or sound to pass through it. Conductors conduct because their electrons are loose.My example of Conductors are a metal knives,metal bowl,fork,spoon, and egg beaters. So I took a picture with these things...





 What is an Insulator?
For me,it is a material that does not allows electricity,light, nor sound to pass through it.Insulators do not conduct easily because their electrons are tight.Although, it can but it is minimal.My examples of Insulators are tupper wares and plastic utensils. I took a picture with these things also.




 
What is a Semiconductor?
For me,it is a material that allows electricity,light,or sound pass through it but not as easy as conductors.It conducts better than insulators but less than conductors.My examples of Semiconductors are flexible bakeware and potholder.This is me holding these things...
