Electromagnets

by: Michael Horton

In this investigation, students will construct electromagnets and test to see which variables make them stronger. Although elementary and middle school teachers are expected to have done this activity with their classes, teachers of younger students often do not have access to the equipment. Therefore, every student should complete the activity to understand transformers, electric motors, speakers, and generators.
