Magnet Man: Cool Experiments with Magnets

Detail Page

written by Rick Hoadley

Developed by magnet enthusiast Rick Hoadley, this site for middle and high school students is no-nonsense in style. The explanations and experiments on this page are designed around a series of increasingly more complex issues of magnetism from "What is magnetism?" to "Build your own Gaussmeter" (a device that measures the strength of a magnet). Each experiment is systematically written in clear terms with images for crucial steps.

Magnet Man: Cool Experiments with Magnets:

Covers the Same Topic As PhET Simulation: Magnet and Compass

A related interactive simulation that explores the relationship between a bar magnet and a compass. Users can add a field meter or superimpose the planet Earth on the bar magnet to see the orientation of the magnetic poles.
