Students gain an understanding that certain materials are attracted to magnets and some are not.

Students measure the strength of a magnet and graph how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases.

Students use a magnetometer to determine the orientation of a magnetic field. In this magnetism lesson, students build a simulated planet and use a simple magnetometer to determine the orientation of their planet's magnetic field.

Young scholars build an instrument. In this magnetism lesson, students learn about the north and south poles of magnets and build a magnetometer that detects the direction of a magnetic field.

In this electrical circuit activity, students answer a series of 24 open-ended questions about electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction. This activity is printable and the answers are revealed online.
