Description
This includes an introductory series of magnetism mini-labs to introduce or review basic concepts of how magnets work, followed by an inquiry activity in which students design their own experiments to investigate magnetic fields. The final activity is a series of electromagnet labs to figure out how different variables affect electromagnet strength.

CCSSRST.6-8.9
Compare and contrast the information gained from experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on the same topic.
CCSSWHST.6-8.1b
Support claim(s) with logical reasoning and relevant, accurate data and evidence that demonstrate an understanding of the topic or text, using credible sources.
NGSSMS-PS2-5
Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact. Examples of this phenomenon could include the interactions of magnets, electrically-charged strips of tape, and electrically-charged pith balls. Examples of investigations could include first-hand experiences or simulations. Assessment is limited to electric and magnetic fields, and limited to qualitative evidence for the existence of fields.
