This
interactive program focuses on the science behind magnetic properties and
electromagnetism. Students will experiment to discover magnetic and
non-magnetic metals. They will explore magnetic properties such as north
and south poles, magnetic fields, attracting and repelling forces, and
discover how electromagnets and generators work. |

Lesson Objectives
1)
Discover that some metals
are magnetic while some are not. Some of the magnetic metals are natural
while some are manufactured.
2)
Magnets have a north and
a south pole; like poles repel, opposite poles attract. All magnets have
a magnetic field.
3)
Discover magnets form
when particles called domains orient in the same direction.
4)
Demonstrate an understanding of electromagnets and generators. |
