Magnets on the Move
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners investigate the behavior of magnets. Learners create a "wonder wand" with a magnet so they can move a skater around.
   
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.
   
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.
   
Motor Effect
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about electricity and magnetism, learners examine what happens when a magnet exerts a force on a current-carrying wire.
   
Magnet Tower
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.
   
Simple Spinner
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.
   
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 Seesaw
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.
   
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.
