Opposites Attract: Forces act on Objects at a Distance
Students use magnets to investigate how unseen forces can act on an object. Students explore with magnets and work to design an investigation and create a model and explanation for how forces act on an object. This lesson is a good introductory lesson for students working on the SEP of Asking Questions, Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, Developing Models, and Using Mathematical and Computational Thinking skills. Students will be using Cross-Cutting Concepts of Cause and Effect.

This lesson assumes prior knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism concepts and focuses deeply on Induction. Levels adjusted for 9th to 12th grade, dual enrollment and AP Physics.
In this hands-on lesson, students will conduct an experiment measuring and comparing temperatures using an IR Temperature gun around the classroom. Students also explore careers where an IR
In this lesson designed for 7th grade, students will explore increasing and decreasing magnetic field of electromagnets by changing the iron core, wire gauge, or wire coils to determine which variable
