Draw a maze onto the bottle with a marker pen.Drop the coin or ball bearing inside the bottle and use a magnet to guide it through the maze.Try doing the same with your other objects. Which ones work, and why?Try some different maze patterns too.What happens when you hold the magnet near the coin or ball bearing?Why doesn’t the bottle stick to the magnet?Does this work with all coins?Try some other things inside your bottle maze, such as a button, marble or hair clip. Which materials stick to the magnet?The word ‘magnet’ comes from part of Ancient Greece called Magnesia, where a magnetic iron ore was mined.
A magnet is anything that has a magnetic field around it. In this activity, the magnet’s field temporarily makes the coin into another magnet. The two magnets attract, and the coin is pulled towards the magnet. Only certain materials are affected by magnetic fields in this way; by far the most affected is iron. Many modern coins are made of steel (...
Whether it’s keeping your bag closed or sticking photos on your fridge, magnets have many uses in everyday life. They are in loudspeakers, headphones and electric motors. Among the many everyday applications of magnets are fridge decorations that cling to (steel) fridge doors, and the magnetic strip on the inside of a fridge door that keeps the doo...
These four fun science experiments using magnets are quick and easy to set up, suitable for learning at home or school. Learners will measure the effects of magnetism as magnets pass through tubes made of different materials; create a visual demonstration of Chaos theory with magnets affecting the swing of a pendulum; feel “attract” and ...
- Floating Magnets. In the Floating Magnets lesson, students learn about the poles of a magnet and explore how magnets interact. Using what they learn about magnetic poles, they create a stack of ring magnets that appear to float, without touching, around a marker used as a center column.
- Make a Simple Compass. If you've ever used an old-fashioned magnetic compass for navigation, you may have seen the needle of the compass spin as the compass orients itself to the Earth's magnetic field.
- Magnets and Extreme Temperatures. Because the properties of materials may change in certain conditions, it is important for engineers and physicists to know how different materials work in extreme conditions.
