How to Destroy a Magnet (+ interactive periodic table)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This unique resource explores magnetism at a high school level. Since most magnetism resources are quite primary, physics teachers will rejoice! This episode explains ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism and how temperature affects the alignment of atoms. It also explores paramagnetism. Viewers learn about the Curie temperature, the point at which a magnet melts, or the magnetic field is destroyed.
