How To Demagnetize a Magnet

Leave a Comment / Magnetic Science Projects / By gk1admin /

Demagnetizing a Magnet Magnets attract most metals. An item is magnetic if metals stick to it. The particles in a magnet line up with the south and north ends that are aligned with the planet’s magnetic pole. The alignment results in the magnetic field. This field is the space around the magnet where the forces …

Micro Meteorites In The Making

Collect Micrometeorites

Leave a Comment / Forces of Nature, Magnetic Science Projects / By gk1admin /

  [wp_ad_camp_2]   Every single day countless numbers of meteorites have been falling to the Earth. Why haven’t you seen them laying around? You don’t usually notice them because, by the time they land, they’re about the size of small pebbles. This is more of a collection than an experiment, although you can certainly use …

What Makes A Compass Needle Move?

Compass deflection

Leave a Comment / Magnetic Science Projects / By Dave /

[wp_ad_camp_2]   A Fourth Grade Science Project: Compass Deflection Does a compass always have to point North?  If not, why not? What if we propose that it points in the direction of the stronger magnetic field?  How could we prove that? Earth’s magnetic field is certainly there, but as we saw in the magnetic science …

What a Compass Does – Compass Needle Deflection

Leave a Comment / Magnetic Science Projects, Science Projects / By Dave /

Kindergarten science projects? I know it’s early, but I also realize kindergarten is a wonderful age of discovery – not so much on the why of it, but the “wow” of it all. Remember? If not, all that is needed is to watch your preschool age son, grandson, daughter or granddaughter for about 5 minutes …

Make a Magnet and Compass

Leave a Comment / Magnetic Science Projects / By Dave /

A New Look At The World Around Us! Magnet Second Grade Science Projects Series One of the earlier projects discusses what a compass does, but if the magnet-science-projects page is right, shouldn’t we be able to make a compass ourselves? Well, the answer is yes – if only we could make a magnet. So we’ll …
