This web page features an inquiry-based instructional module created specifically for use with the PhET simulation Magnets and Electromagnets. It includes a lesson plan with learning goals, a Power Point presentation designed to introduce secondary students to magnets, and "clicker" elicitation questions. The author, a teacher of high school physics, developed the lesson with these objectives: 1) compare and contrast bar magnets/electromagnets; 2) identify characteristics of electromagnets; 3) relate magnetic field strength to distance; and 4) compare and contrast gravitational field and magnetic field.
This resource is part of the PhET project (Physics Education Technology) a growing collection of simulations and curriculum support for teachers and learners of physics, biology, chemistry, and earth science. Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java.
