1. With the person you’re sitting next to, decide who has longer hair!
Longer hair person = Magnets, Short hair person = Electricity
One student writes electricity and the other writes magnetism.
On my signal list one thing you know about the topic.
Switch and write another thing about the topic.
Magnetism Electricity

2. Create a class list of what we know about electricity and magnetism.

5. Create an electromagnet
Using the following materials:
Nail
Wire
Battery

6. 62L Is the electromagnet a magnet?
What is your evidence?
Picks up paper clips
What happens when a magnet is placed near the nail?

7. 62 L How could you create a stronger electromagnet?
Test one variable at a time

8. 62 L/R How could you create a stronger electromagnet?
Test one variable at a time...Example:
How many staples can you lift up
1 Battery
10 loops
20 loops

10. What is an electromagnet? Notes 62L/R
temporary magnet made by wrapping a current-carrying wire around an iron core

11. 62L/R How do the number of coils affect the number of pins attracted to the electromagnet?

12. 62L/R How does the size of the current affect the number of pins attracted to the electromagnet?

13. What are two ways to make a stronger 62L/R electromagnet?
- increase the number of coils
-increase the amount of current
