Make your own speaker with a magnet, wire, and paper cup! If you have a radio with a headphone plug and an old pair of headphones, this is a great tinkering activity.

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

Learners use the current flowing in a wire to create a magnetic field that turns a magnet. Learners can use this property of electromagnetism to build a magnet-powered pinwheel.

In this activity about magnetism (page 13 of the pdf), learners will experiment with magnets to explore how water and other liquids affect the strength of magnetic fields.
