This is the 2nd part of a Magnetism unit with year 7 - Year 8 pupils. It includes an engaging illustrated PowerPoint presentation (30 slides) and scaffolded notes which have been customized to go along with the presentation. Three worksheets and a quiz are also included in this pack. Great value!
The learning objectives for Part 2 are listed below.
By the end of this lesson, pupils will:
1) discover that a magnet can be made by stroking a steel bar with the same pole of a permanent magnet from one end to the other end in one direction
2) be able magnetise a needle and use it as a simple compass.
3) discover that when electric current flows through an insulated wire wound around an iron core, the core becomes a magnet
4) be able to build a simple electromagnet
5) explore ways to manipulate a variety of variables to increase the strength of the electromagnet
6) know some uses of electromagnets
7) distinguish between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet
8) learn the components of an electric bell and how an electric bell works
Your feedback is much appreciated. Cheers!

Excellent resource - thanks
Great resource!!!<br /> One minor adjustment is needed Oersted was Danish not Dutch. My Danish colleagues are very proud of this fact and remind me regularly :)<br />
Really great resource, I have never made an electromagnet so far in the career and I find this very simple to follow which will be great for the ability I am teaching thank you
