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.
In addition to the four types of lettuce there are many other greens that fill our salad bowls. These are a few of the more common ones. Arugula is also called rocket or rucola. When young, the dark green leaves are small and tender, but as they mature they become large and a bit tough.
