Electromagnetism

1. 15 July 2014 Electromagnetism • Objective • Be able to describe how to make an electromagnet and what happens when you put a wire in a magnetic field

2. Outcomes • ALL MUST make an electromagnet and describe how to make it stronger • MOST SHOULD describe the magnetic field lines around a wire and know how their direction can be changed • SOME COULD explain uses for the motor effect

3. Starter • Make an electromagnet • Describe how you have done it in your book • Make the electromagnet stronger • Describe he 2 ways that this can be done

4. Demo electromagnetism and motor effect • http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/education/tutorials/java/magwire/index.html • http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/education/tutorials/java/oersted/index.html

13. Literacy Task • Make notes and draw diagrams from page 172 about electromagnets and the motor effect • Do Q1-3 on page 173 • Write down the 3 most important words from 173 and explain what they mean and why you have chosen them as the most important words

14. Tell me 2 things… • What was easy about today’s lesson was…because… • I found this difficult….because…
