Project Title
Circles of Magnetism
A compass allows us to observe the direction of a magnetic field: compass needles are just little magnets
that are free to rotate. Normally, compasses respond to Earth’s magnetic field, orienting themselves
parallel to magnetic field lines. If we create a magnetic field that is stronger than Earth's field—for
example, by using electric currents—a compass needle will orient itself parallel to the new field.

Magnetic Pendulums
The current generated when one copper coil swings through a magnetic field will start a second coil
swinging, showing some of the ways that electricity and magnetism interact.

Stripped-Down Motor
Make a simple mini-motor.
A coil of wire becomes an electromagnet when current passes through it. The electromagnet interacts
with a permanent magnet, causing the coil to spin.
