Conductors and Insulators. In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot. Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.onductors and Insulators.

Butterhead lettuce. A type of head lettuce whose botanical name is Lactuca sativa var. heirloom. Two common types are Boston and bibb lettuce. Have small, round, loosely formed heads with soft, buttery-textured leaves ranging from pale green on the outer leaves to pale yellow-green on the inner leaves.
How you harvest lettuce (Lactuca sativa) depends on the type of lettuce and whether you want to conserve the plants or clear them out. Lettuce is a cool season crop. With warmer late spring temperatures, lettuce becomes bitter, so plan to harvest it completely before then.
