How can I build an electromagnet that moves paperclips?
Design and build an electromagnet which can carry paperclips over a distance of one metre.
Design and build an electromagnet which can carry paperclips over a distance of one metre.
Have fun discovering what magnets can pick up in this hands on activity.
Students develop and apply the skills of sorting & classifying, comparing & contrasting and predicting as they explore magnetism as a non-contact force that causes movement.
Students will work collaboratively to design and build a toy that is moved using forces applied by magnets.
