The Magnetic Field Interactive is an adjustable-size file that displays nicely on smart phones, on tablets such as the iPad, on Chromebooks, and on laptops and desktops. The size of the Interactive can be scaled to fit the device that it is displayed on. The compatibility with smart phones, iPads, other tablets, and Chromebooks make it a perfect tool for use in a 1:1 classroom.

 

This Interactive is intended for use in the early stages of a learning cycle on magnetism. Learners can easily view the magnetic field lines surrounding a bar magnet. The behavior of the compass needle in the region surrounding the magnet can be observed. 

The Physics Classroom has not prepared any activities for use with this Interactive. We are confident that teachers who use our website will come up with plenty of great ideas for using the Magnetic Field Interactive and we invite you to share those ideas with us.

Drats! If we had more time, we would have more resources. As of this writing, there are no resources at The Physics Classroom that pertain to the topic of magnets and magnetism. We expect that someday that will change. We don't know when "someday" is but we assure you that we are pedaling as fast as we can.

 

 

The Physics Classroom would like to extend a special thanks to Nerd Island Studios for the creation of this HTML5 Interactive. Visit http://www.nerdislandstudios.com to see more great stuff by Nerd Island Studios.
