Description
Students will create an electromagnet with the materials in this lab and test the strength of the electromagnet. The strength of the electromagnet is determined by how many loops of wire are coiled around a nail. Students will then see how many paperclips will be attracted to the electromagnet using 3 different amounts of coiled wire. Perfect for an energy unit in science.
