The wire used to create the flashlight was wrapped in rubber. Why?

The rubber made the wire prettier.

The rubber was a conductor and helped the electricity to flow.

The rubber was an insulator and protected us from getting shocked.

The rubber is not necessary.

planting trees after a forest fire

protecting endangered animals

take out the chocolate chips and measure again

We wear coats during the winter and they help keep us warm. Why do they help keep us warm?

The coat is an insulator and traps our body heat, keeping us warm when wearing it.

The coat creates friction.

The coat creates an electrical circuit to heat it to a warmer temperature.

The coat is a conductor and transfers the cold air outside to our body.
