                                     LN – DOES WATER CONDUCT ELECTRICITY





               Learning Objective: -Students will explore the concept of electrical conductivity in
               different materials, including water.

               Distilled Water: Water purified through distillation

               Pure water: Water with minimal impurities

               Salt water: Water containing dissolved salts

                The water we use every day is not pure, so it can conduct electricity and can be very
               dangerous when near electrical appliances.

               Examples:

               Saltwater – conducts electricity well.


               Rainwater – conducts electricity because it has dissolved gases and dust.

               Distilled water – does not conduct electricity well.

               Safety Tip


                 Never touch electrical appliances with wet hands or near water. It can cause electric

               shock!
               Conclusion


               Water can conduct electricity if it contains impurities like salts or minerals. So, we must
               always be careful when using electricity near water.

               Learning Outcome: - Students will understand that water can conduct electricity due to
               the presence of dissolved ions.
