Electromagnet
Science Kit: $25
Electromagnet Science set is a kit
with instructions and material to perform many different
experiments related to electromagnets. These materials
can also be used for your presentation.
Build a doorbell, telegraph system, even a catapult,
using a true electromagnet.
|
Electromagnet Science Set includes several introductory
experiments in magnetism as well as six complete electromagnet
projects. Complete projects are:
1-Construct an electromagnet, 2-Construct
an electric catapult, 3-Make pictures of magnetic field,
4-Construction of telegraph, 5-Construct a buzzer, 6-Construct a
relay.

Opportunities
for Science Fair Projects
Many of the questions asked in the Electromagnet Projects, can
serve as the "Problem to be solved" in a science
project. In setting up your project, you would first state the problem,
then hypothesis, ( a guess as the answer to your
problem), next procedure to check the hypothesis, and
finally a conclusion that answers the stated problem
based on what you actually observe in your research. In addition
you may be interested in proposing your own, specific research
that will expand on your conclusion.
Since magnets are visually enticing in themselves as they
interact with each other, it would be strongly suggested that
your presentation include the apparatus you used in your
research.
