In this investigation, students figure out how the structure of an electromagnet affects the strength of the magnetic field that it produces.
The Electromagnets kit includes all the materials that students will need to design and carry out an investigation.
Each kit contains enough materials for eight groups of students.
Materials:
- Battery
- Erasers
- Wire
- Iron nail
- Rubber Twist Ties
- Paperclips
- Measuring Tape
- Wire Cutter
