Students in year 9 Science were challenged to build their own electromagnets and work out how to make the magnet stronger.  Students worked out that by adding more coils of copper wire to their iron nail their electromagnet became stronger and they could pick up more metal objects.  Students worked out the applications for electromagnets in industry.

Students used learnt new skills and prior knowledge to build a working motor using a copper coil and rare earth magnets.
