Diana has great advice - I was going to suggest the same demo (
http://chemdemos.uoregon.edu/demos/Conductivity-of-Electrolytes). This is also a great time to discuss concentrations and solutions. You can use solid salt, then a solution of salt in water, then just water to show you need a salt solution to pass a current.
You could also discuss diffusion/active transport, which is a good mix of chem and bio. For the neurons to work you need sodium to be concentrated outside the cell and potassium to be concentrated inside the cell. How does this work? If the solution were just inside a beaker (like the demo), then the ions would distribute evenly. But human bodies have developed really cool ways to do the chemistry they need - active transport to create the ion gradient.
There are also some cool demos that have to go with sports drinks. One (which can be done with a light bulb but is better with a current meter) measures the current through different solutions (water, juice, sports drinks), which can then be compared to the sodium and potassium concentration in the drinks (

The Royal Society of chemistry also has a really cool lab developed. It focuses more on the sugar aspect (as well as electrolytes), but I thought I'd attach it anyway.
