Electro-magnet
This resource allows students to build an electromagnet through an interactive website. Students are given a task for the electromagnet to pick up a selected number of paperclips. Students determine how many batteries and coils are needed to complete their task. A help button is available for hints. Students may continue when they complete a task.
This interactive media can be useful for review after students have worked with electromagnets or as a pre assessment prior to building an electromagnet. This can be used as an individual tool or with a smart board and whole class participation. The game has good directions and provides assistance if help is needed. Students who are visual or kinetic learners would benefit from this interactive resource.
