Easiest way: Go to RadioShack and buy:

12v light bulb and a socket for it with screw terminals

9v battery and battery clip for it

The smallest roll of wire they have

Two screw-terminal alligator clips

Hook this up as follows:

Red wire off the battery clip to one screw on the light bulb socket.

Put an alligator clip on the black wire

Cut off a foot of wire, strip both ends, screw one end to the light bulb socket and the other to the second alligator clip.

Install the bulb and battery, and clip the two clips together. Did it light up? If it did, you're ready for the next step.

To test the spoon, separate the two alligator clips from each other, and clip the spoon in between them.

(You could also just ohm the spoon out with a multimeter, but you need to know how to read one to have that make sense; everyone understands light bulbs.)

A metal spoon - plastic does not conduct electricity


Does a penny spoon and nail all conduct electricity?

Yes, all three objects (penny, spoon, nail) can conduct electricity since they are made of metal, which is a good conductor. However, the size and shape of the objects may affect how efficiently they conduct electricity.


Is a wooden spoon an electricity conductor?

Yes, wood is not a good conductor of electricity. Therefore, a wooden spoon will not conduct electricity like metal spoons would.


Does a wooden spoon conduct electricity?

Yes, wooden spoons do not conduct electricity. Wood is an insulator, so it does not allow the flow of electric current through it.

Is a wooden spoon a conductor or insulator?

Wood is an insulator. Think about it; when you put a wooden or plastic spoon in boiling water, does it burn your hand? No. This is because it slows the flow of heat from the water to your hand. I do not suggest trying the same thing with a metal spoon, which is a good conductor.


Why does a plactic spoon not connect on the circuit?

Plastic does not conduct electricity at a low voltage. It has few to no free electrons to carry the current from one side of the spoon to the other, so no current will flow through the spoonified circuit.


Is a metal serving spoon a conductor?

Yes, a metal serving spoon is a conductor because metals, in general, are good conductors of electricity due to their high number of free electrons that can move easily through the material. When connected to a circuit, the metal spoon would allow electric current to flow through it.
