What is an activity that would show graphite is a good conductor of electricity?

Take a pencil made of wood and sharpen it from both ends such that the tips become clear. Those black parts of pencil are graphite. Take a wire connect it to the bulb, then to a battery and connect the both ends of the pencil to the wire forming a circuit. When current flows from battery, it goes through wire and bulb lightens. Since the pencil is connected in the circuit, current also passes through it. It shows that it is a good conductor of electricity.
