Magnetic Fields and Bermuda Triangle

Students map magnetic fields of a magnet using a compass and predict where fields cancel each other to create 'Bermuda Triangles'. In this magnetism lesson, students use a compass to map the magnetic field of a magnet. They explain how...

Students use a compass to determine the direction of a magnetic field at any point in space. They explain how two magnetic fields combine, then predict the location of areas where two fields can cancel each other to leave no resultant...

Students examine nautical navigation and discover the differences between nautical charts and other types of maps or charts. Students practice setting a course, taking a bearing, and dead reckoning. This gives students an example of...
