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.
   
Density Intensity
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity on page 12 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners examine how recyclable materials are separated by various properties at recycling centers.
   
Floating Butterfly
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.
   
Electromagnet
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build an electromagnet using a nail, a cork, a battery, and electrical wire. Use this activity to demonstrate how electric currents produce magnet fields.
   
Magnet Tower
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.
   
Magnetic Suction
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners discover how a doorbell works. A coil of wire with current flowing through it forms an electromagnet that acts similar to a bar magnet.
   
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.
   
Magnetic Marble Run
Source Institutions
    
  Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.
