Paolo works in a Pizzeria. He is trying to make his own magnets. Join him and help him learn.

In this experiment, students experience the Curie point--and what happens when a piece of iron gets too hot to attract a magnet.

Gives a simple description of the theory of magnetism and the properties of a magnet. Very good descriptions for beginning level.

No fancy movement in this tutorial, but these rules come in very handy when trying to understand some of what's going on in our other tutorials.

Recreate the discovery by Hans Christian Oersted about the relationship between electricity and magnetism in this very simple experiment.

Compasses had been steering people in the right direction for many centuries when, in the year 1820, one particular compass made a very different sort of revelation to an unsuspecting Danish science professor.

Spurred by Hans Christian Orsted's discovery of a relationship between electricity and magnetism, German chemist Julian Schweigger immediately began tinkering and soon came up with a very early galvanometer known as the Schweigger...
