Your class will enjoy exploring the captivating world of magnetism. The students will learn about the nature of magnets; classify magnetic and nonmagnetic materials; discover how objects can be magnetized and demagnetized; and understand the differences between a permanent and a temporary magnet. By plotting actual magnetic fields, they will also explore how compasses react to magnetism. The class will also bridge the world between magnetism and electricity as they create an electromagnet, investigate the effects of magnetic forces on electric currents and identify applications of electromagnetism.
