Student Experiments:

• Use magnets to detect iron and to determine which metals stick to magnets.
• Explore magnetic attraction and repulsion including the levitation of colour coded ceramic ring magnets.
• Use strong bar magnets to learn about action at a distance.
• Visualize poles and lines of force with iron filings.
• Explore how a compass reacts to magnets.
• Craft a compass.
• Detect the Earth’s magnetic poles.
• Make a temporary magnet and test it’s strength.
• Build and manipulate electromagnets.
• Determine what can make magnets bigger and stronger.
• Discover how an electric motor works.

Features:
Teacher's Packs are designed so that students have their own booklet and materials.
The pack consists largely of non-consumables and uses robust components designed for years of classroom use.
Extensions to the main projects are feasible as there are sufficient supplies for all.
