A brief description of paleomagnetism and the importance it holds for geoscientists.

This site from Cornell University provides a very short, very telling comparison of matter and charge. This is a good site to check out on the subject, with a chart diagram to help with further information.

Students will investigate magnetic forces and poles using a refrigerator magnet.

This site examines the black hole as an object in astrophysics. Delve into this comprehensive resource that covers this concept from its history, to qualitative physics, the reality of black holes, mathematical physics and more.

This website grew out of a field trip to Isle Royale, an island in Lake Superior, to study its geology. This page explains the concept of paleomagnetism, evidence that can be found around Lake Superior, and some magnetic anomalies that...

Students use a simple set up consisting of a coil of wire and a magnet to visualize induced EMF. First, students move a coil of wire near a magnet and observe the voltage that results. They then experiment with moving the wire, magnet,...

Students are challenged to design a method for separating steel from aluminum based on magnetic properties as is frequently done in recycling operations. To complicate the challenge, the magnet used to separate the steel must be able to...

Generate electricity with a bar magnet! Discover the physics behind the phenomena by exploring magnets and how you can use them to make a bulb light. Java required.

Investigate Faraday's law and how a changing magnetic flux can produce a flow of electricity!

A NASA space scientist provides 98 questions and answers about the sun, the center of our solar system.

Investigate with a bar magnet and coils to learn about Faraday's law. You can also play with electromagnets, generators, and transformers!

Einstein Light highlights the Theory of Special Relativity and related topics. Learn how Galileo, Maxwell, and Einstein contributed to our knowledge of relativity, electricity, magnetism, and time by watching fun, interactive modules.

The World Health Organization probes into the feared associations between electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and cancer. Check out "What is EMF?" for detailed summaries on what electromagnetic fields are and the possible health effects, or...

Students design and construct an electromagnet that must pick up 10 staples. They begin with only minimal guidance, and after the basic concept is understood, are informed of the properties that affect the strength of that magnet. They...

Want to know what the current weather conditions are in space? Find everything here you may want to know about the latest solar flares, sunspots, asteroids and more. Site also includes essential web links to quench any user's thirst for...

Read about Raymond V. Damadian, inventor of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and learn how the MRI has impacted the field of medicine.

College-level textbook highlighting electromagnetism concepts. Many of the topics are explained in video demonstrations.

From ABC News in Science, Julie Steenhuysen's article covers research into antiferromagnets (or antimagnets) and their "external magnetic field."

Adjust the magnetic field intensity and the particle speed in this simulation to observe the affect the movement of the particle.

A collection of video lectures covering the topic of Faraday's law taught at East Los Angeles College. In ten lectures, discover how a magnetic field interacts with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force. Lectures vary in...

This interactive lab in electromagnetics effectively illustrates how Faraday's law works.

A teacher lesson plan which includes several student activities on magnetism, force fields, and magnetic induction. May provide an idea for a student project or lab investigation.

A teacher unit which includes several hands-on activities about types of magnets, magnetism, and electrostatics. An activity designed to suit all grade levels. Many parts of the activity would be easily adaptable as a student project.
