Electromagnets: Teacher's Guide

Challenges in Physical Science

This teacher's guide is to be used in conjunction with the student text Electromagnets.

In this textbook, students explore the properties of magnetism and learn how to use it for practical applications. They explore permanent magnets, and then create their own temporary magnets. At the end of this module, students should be able to design and fabricate their own electromagnet as well as understand basic relationships between electricity and magnetism.
