Description

Lab-Aids Magnetic Fields and Forces

In these two activities students explore magnets and magnetic fields, particularly Earth’s magnetic field. The first activity provides students with a hands-on experience that allows them to develop operational definitions of magnets, magnetic poles, and magnetic fields. They continue their exploration of magnetism by examining the effects of Earth’s magnetic field as evidenced by the existence of naturally magnetic rocks and the behavior of navigational compasses. Contents include: 200 iron washers, 12 bar magnets, 6 magnetic field visualizers, 6 navigational compasses, 6 iron nails, 6 lodestone rocks, 6 cups (30-mL), 6 rulers (15-cm), 1 Magnetic Fields transparency, 1 Earth’s Magnetic Field transparency, 1 Teacher’s Guide, and 28 Student Worksheet and Guides. Accommodates unlimited classes, each with 6 groups of four students.
