The Science of Magnetism and Electricity
12 Easy-To-Teach Experiments for Yrs 5-9
by Laurie Sims

After decades of working in Science labs with little or no budget, Laurie Sims has devised a series of pracs that are easy to teach, need only basic science equipment, and have the kids coming back for more. They are not labour intensive, but a joy to perform. Students are easily able to grasp the theories of magnetism and basic electricity via pactical application.

Electricity is used to make electromagnets, thus enabling students to understand the link between electricity and magnetism. The experiments are:

1. The Magnetic Field of a Bar Magnet.
2. The Compass and the Bar Magnet.
3. Let's Make Our Own Magnetic Compass.
4. The Indian Magnet Trick.
5. Let's Make Our Own Electromagnet.
6. One Wire - Two Magnets.
7. Mapping the Magnetic Field of an Electified Wire.
8. A Electro-magnetic Buzzer.
9. Conductors and Insulators.
10. Melting Moments with the Fuse.
11. Constructing a Series Circuit Containing 2 Light Globes.
12. Construct a Parallel Circuit Containing 2 Light Globes.
