Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners discover that a magnet falls more slowly through a metallic tube than it does through a nonmetallic tube.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.

In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners examine what happens when a magnet exerts a force on a current-carrying wire.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to build their own compass.

With a magnet, iron fillings, and a bottle, you can create a cool demonstration about magnetic lines of force: the fillings will arrange themselves within the magnet's magnetic field.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of magnetic fields by inserting a small, strong magnet into a sphere.
