Hi Paul-
That was the Line of Resistance workshop presentation that I gave (along
with 2 others) at that AAPT meeting.
It was further developed in conjunction with the Institute for Chemical
Education at the U. of Wisconsin, and the kit is still sold:

Some extensions and other presentations that were developed after that are

Graphite pencils from an art store such as Aaron Brothers work well as to
do many other soft pencils. The best bet is just to buy a bunch of
different pencils and test them out. Graphite pencils are often better
than regular pencils because the regular pencils use other non-conductive
fillers (clay) in them.

Hello.
I am getting ready to do a resistivity lab that I've done for a decade but
I ran into a problem. The art pencils that I've been using are gone. They
apparently vaporized along with my packet of materials from an old aapt
workshop a decade or more ago.
I remember that art pencils were better because...
I don't remember...
I am tempted to pick up softer leaded pencils so the lead would get into
the cracks of the paper.
Does anyone have a quick recommendation?
Thanks for your help.
Paul.
