Fabulous Electric & Magnetic Field Design!
by Ana Ramirez
Electricity and magnetism are fundamental to the workings of nearly every gadget, appliance, vehicle, and machine we use. This great 6th Grade lesson covers magnetic fields where students will be able to discover how electricity and magnetism are two separate but connected parts of the same force. They will experience how an electric current from a battery will flow through a copper wire, generating a magnetic field.
