Explore the chaotic motion of a pendulum that is swinging above several magnets that are fixed in place and see what patterns you can find.

Work samples, phenomena, assessment templates, and videos that directly address standard MS-PS2-3: electric and magnetic forces.

A simulation which shows the field of a magnetic dipole or quadrupole using compass needles indicating direction and relative field strength. Change the angular orientation of the dipole, and a movable compass shows the magnetic field...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explores what makes a material magnetic, ferromagnetic materials and how they can be magnetised, temporary and permanent magnets, and the mineral magnetite.

An electromagnetic simulation which replicates moving charged particles in two identical magnetic fields separated by a zero magnetic field gap.

An activity exploring eddy currents by having a magnet fall through a metallic and nonmetallic tube.

Work samples, phenomena, assessment templates, and videos that directly address standard: MS-PS2-5: electric, magnetic, and gravitational fields.

Investigate the idea of the force between straight current-carrying wires in this magnetic force simulation. See if you can rank the wires from largest to smallest based on the magnitude of their currents.

An experiment where learners investigate the strength of magnets. This site includes a lesson plan with both teacher and student information for completing the experiment.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] What a solenoid is and how to change the strength of its magnetic field, and some uses of solenoids.

Students create their own magnetic compass.

Can you hear a magnet? In this activity you will be able to transfer the sound from your iPhone, iPod or radio to a cassette-tape player.

This activity will have students creating their own speaker with a paper cup, coil of wire, and magnet. The speaker operates by changing electric current into sound.

The Discovery Channel provides numerous topics that are the most popular science topics taught in upper elementary and middle school. Content is organized by topics (Bacteria, Oceans, Solar System, etc.); all topics include quick facts,...

In this fun, engaging activity, students are introduced to a unique type of fluid--ferrofluids--whose shape can be influenced by magnetic fields! Students act as materials engineers and create their own ferrofluids. They are challenged...

This site provides a list of the topics and links to the Physics (Combined Science)courses offered in GCSE Bitesize and a list of contents of each. The topics include the following: Energy, Electricity, Matter, Radioactivity, Forces,...

Learn about cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other.

The site is very easy to read and provides a thorough demystification of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Written by Dr. Joseph P. Hornak, a professor of Chemistry and Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology, the site breaks...

The Canada Science and Technology Museum tells the history of recorded sound. Learn about the hundreds of sound recording devices in the museum's archives. These are grouped into four main categories: Acoustical-Mechanical Systems,...

These physics lessons and tutorials are designed to be a resource for learning introductory level, algebra-based physics. Organization is by topic, but a search option is available for quickly finding specific information. Although most...
