Conductivity Lab

The idea of the lab was to see if different types of substances were able to conduct energy. We mixed 10 different chemicals with water and went to examine the conductivity. With a conductivity tester we put the two solid metals sticking out into the liquid and the meter showed the level of conductivity it had. Here is a graph showing our results:
