Objective 

Investigate and describe the magnetic fields surrounding various types of magnets using materials , such as iron filings and small compasses .

Standard 

Students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the interactions of matter and energy and the energy transformation that occur. 
( 5.0 Physics )
Vocabulary 
  • magnetic field - a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts.
  • Electro magnetic -  of or relating to the interrelation of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields
  • Magnet - a piece of iron (or an ore, alloy, or other material) that has its component atoms so ordered that the material exhibits properties of magnetism, such as attracting other iron-containing objects or aligning itself in an external magnetic field.
  • iron  filings - Iron filings are very small pieces of iron that look like a light powder. They are very often used in science demonstrations to show the direction of a magnetic field. Since iron is a ferromagnetic material, a magnetic field induces each particle to become a tiny bar magnet.
  • electrical currents - An electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in a plasma.
