SMILE Lab: Electromagnets
written by the Dr. Porter Johnson
This site contains instructions for a fairly simple lab or demonstration using electromagnets.  The electromagnets are made with nails, copper wire, and batteries.  The lab includes a list of needed materials, the procedure that the students should follow, and a brief discussion of the physical concepts involved.

I would recommend using a format (e.g. PDF) that is not so text dense.

4. THE PHYSICAL SETTING

G. Forces of Nature
  • 4G (9-12) #5.  Magnetic forces are very closely related to electric forces and can be thought of as different aspects of a single electromagnetic force. Moving electric charges produce magnetic forces and moving magnets produce electric forces. The interplay of electric and magnetic forces is the basis for electric motors, generators, and many other modern technologies, including the production of electromagnetic waves.
