Magnetic Fields – Magnets, Electromagnet, and Their Applications – Lesson

Description

This 32-slide PowerPoint lesson on Magnetic Fields begins with a student-centered discussion on the applications of magnetism as well as a brief overview of what magnets are and how they’re used. It then goes into Magnetic Poles, Permanent vs. Temporary Magnets, and Earth’s Magnetic Field. It concludes by examining Oersted’s Principal, the Right-Hand Rule, the connection between Magnetism and Electricity, Solenoids, Electromagnetism, Faraday’s and Lenz’s Law, and Conventional Current vs. Electron Flow. It is a thorough overview and introduction that will fit any high school classroom well.

The student version of the PowerPoint contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
