Description
Through a series of demonstrations, students examine the properties of electricity and magnetism and learn how the two are related. Volunteers hold magnets so powerful that their like poles cannot be pushed together, then test a variety of metals for magnetism, resulting in some unexpected surprises! They’ll even learn how electricity is similar to, and can create, magnetism.
Capacity: 4 classes (100 students + teachers) per session; 1 to 4 sessions per day. Requirements: Gym, auditorium, cafeteria, or other large, assembly-appropriate space. Fee: $355 for 1 session; $250 for each additional session. Travel fees apply for sites more than 30 miles from the Museum. Reservation: Required. For information and reservations: 617-589-0354, travelingprograms@mos.org.
