Students explore how compass and Gauss meter detect a magnetic field. For this physics lesson, students build their own Gauss meter and sensor based on given procedure. They cite real world applications of magnetism.

Students investigate the magnitude of Earth's magnetic field using PASCO. In this physics lesson, students describe the features of the magnetosphere. They explain how atmosphere layers protect the Earth.

Clever! Earth science learners construct a model of a planet containing a magnetic core. The planet, Terrabagga, is made out of a paper grocery bag, magnets, a dead D battery, and rubber bands. Pictures of each step of the construction...

Fifth graders, in groups, create paper bag "globes", complete with magnetic poles. They use compasses to determine and label various locations (N. and S. Poles, Prime Meridian, Equator, etc.) and finish it by drawing in the continents...

Young scholars conduct a series of experiments on magnetorheological fluids. In this physics lesson, students explain how these fluids behave in varying magnetic field strength. They give practical applications of magnetorheological fluids.

Students investigate magnetic permeability and saturation. In this physics lesson, students explain how current carrying wire coils create magnetic forces. They interpret normal magnetization curves.

Young scholars create a 3D vector field map of an electric field. In this physics lesson, students measure the voltage inside an aquarium with water. They present their findings and map to class..

Students explain how power is transmitted over long distances. In this physics lesson, students simulate controlling power flow in parallel transmission lines. They discuss several applications of wireless power transmission.

Third graders solve a cryptogram by decoding a message written with wingdings.  In this decoding activity, 3rd graders solve a message related to magnetism.  Students have notes about magnets once they've finished.

In this clock construction instructional activity, students use a pencil, compass, and sun clock diagram to construct a homemade sun clock. A very interesting instructional activity on combining images with text.

Learners demonstrate how Faraday's cage work by building their own electroscope. In this physics activity, students explain how Faraday's cage work. They cite several applications of this principle in the real world.
