Answer:

Poke or kick the boxes. The sand box is the one that resists the most

Explanation:

The one that resists the most a change in motion (inertia) is the one with the greater mass—the  one filled with sand. Since we cannot open the boxes or perform any weight measurement we can distinguish them by their inertia. Sand has greater mass and thus greater inertia

What are electrons and how are they involved in creating and electric current?
Artist 52 [7]
Electrons are a stable sub atomic particle that has a negative charge and is found in all atoms and is the main carrier of electricity through solids.

In a metal, some of the electrons can escape from the atoms and are free to move around inside the metal. These electrons are referred to as 'conduction electrons'. 

<span>A current is a flow of charge. In metal a current is the flow of the conduction electrons through the metal. This can occur when connected to battery for example: The battery pumps the conduction electrons around the circuit. </span>
