Eddy Currents
Source Institutions
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.

Create a Compass
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials to build their own compass.

Circles of Magnetism IV
Source Institutions
In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners observe as two parallel, current-carrying wires exert forces on each other.

Magnet Powered Pinwheel
Source Institutions
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.

Circles of Magnetism I
Source Institutions
In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.
