Task
You will find out how magnets work and the force that they exert on other objects.
Standard S8P5C: Magnets and the force they exert on other objects.
Process
- Go here to read about how magnets work and what the parts are of a magnet. magnet http://www.howmagnetswork.com/ Draw the magnet diagram that you see at the top left.
- Next go here and read about how magnets work and how magnets are used in everyday life. http://www.explainthatstuff.com/magnetism.html
- Draw and show how an object looks when it is magnitized and when it is not magnitized.
- list three uses for magnets from the reading
- draw the magnetic field in the right hand corner of the reading above.
- define repel, attract, electromagnet, magnetic field, magnetic poles, permanent magnet, temporary magnet
- Go here to practice with electromagnets. http://www.fossweb.com/delegate/ssi-foss-ucm/Contribution%20Folders/FOSS/multimedia/Magnetism_and_Electricity/electromagnet.html
- How did the magent react as you had 30 wraps, 40 wraps, and 50 wraps. Did the magnet become stronger or weaker?
- Draw and label an electromagnet. What must it have to be an electromagnet?
- Finally go back here and play this game. Enjoy!! http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/electromagnets/
Evaluation
This will be placed into your input side of your interactive notebook.
Conclusion
You should now be able to identify and practice with magnets next week.
