+ ward ' s science Page 1 Marvelous Magnets: An Exploration of Electromagnetism with Lab Stations Submitted by: Amy L. Recommended Grade Level(s): Appropriate for: Grades 8–9 Physical Science Time Requirements: Prep Time: 10–20 minutes Activity Time: 40 minutes plus explanation (5–10 minutes) and post-activity discussion (5-15 minutes) Teaching Topics & Concepts: Magnetism and electromagnetism National Science Standards Alignment MS-PS2-5. Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact. MS-PS2-3. Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces. HS-PS2-5. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that an electric current can produce a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current. Safety: Be sure to stress being careful with the items used in the lab, so as not to break them. Be careful not to pinch fingers between the neodymium magnets.
