What’s Covered

• Magnetic materials can be made into magnets.
• Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials.
• Unlike poles attract and like pole repel.
• There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines.
• Draw the field lines around a bar magnet.
• The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field.
• Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing.
• There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest.
• The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases.
• Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet.
• When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction.
• The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south.

This versatile pack can be used to reinforce each section of the current electricity module as it is taught or for revision. Many of the games could be used for cover lessons, even when taken by a non-specialist as they come with a hard-copy or PowerPoint of the answers. It is also the ideal end of term/year pack.
