This lesson plan contains instructions for conducting an inquiry-based lab to investigate current-carrying coils in magnetic fields. Students construct a simple galvanometer from film cannisters and other readily-obtainable materials. The author includes follow-up questions to stimulate learning. This item is part of a larger set of lesson plans in the SMILE collection of resources.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: Magnetism and Magnetic Force
