Test if something is covalent or ionic?

A student tok a small amount of a white colored substance ad placed it into a beaker. Outline a simple test that the student could do in our lab to help decide whether the substance was ionically or covalently bonded.

I know I have to test its BOILING POINT and CONDUCTIVITY.

If the BOILING POINT is high, then it's most likely ionically bonded. But what is a HIGH BOILING POINT considered as in chemistry?

How do I test its CONDUCTIVITY level???? I know that if its HIGH then its most likely ionically bonded...how do i test this?

Thanks in advance
