Magnetization

Principle

The students magnetise an iron wire. When they brush a permanent magnet over the iron wire, they observe that the iron wire itself becomes magnetic and attracts other iron-containing objects and they notice that the ferromagnet wire retains this property even when the magnet is removed.

Benefits

• Experiment guides are very easy to understand, especially for younger students
• Associated competences are directly linked to the experiments
• Curriculum compatible
• Fit for the future: implementation of tablets possible
