Spell Bee Word: Conductivity


What does conductivity mean?

Word: Conductivity

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Conductivity means how easily a material lets heat or electricity pass through it.

How do you spell conductivity?

Syllables: con - duc - tiv - i - ty

Tricky part: The ending is -ivity, with an i on each side of the v. Students write conductivety or conductavity.

Watch out for: conductivety, conductavity, conductivitey

Memory tip: Picture the v in the middle standing between two i's, one on each side, like friends holding hands.

Conductivity in a sentence

Example 1: Wood has low conductivity, so a wooden spoon handle stays cool in hot soup.

Example 2: Our science project compared the conductivity of salt water and tap water.

Example 3: Diamond has very high thermal conductivity, so it feels cold to the touch.

Fun Fact

Pure water has very low conductivity. It is the salts dissolved in tap water that let it carry an electric current.
