Fabulous Electric & Magnetic Field Design!
Electricity and magnetism are fundamental to the workings of nearly every gadget, appliance, vehicle, and machine we use. This great 6th Grade lesson covers magnetic fields where students will be able to discover how electricity and magnetism are two separate but connected parts of the same force. They will experience how an electric current from a battery will flow through a copper wire, generating a magnetic field.

In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to
