For today (Tuesday)

Hello everyone,

Sorry to be out sick today.  Please do the following:

Gather in small groups and come up with 2 lists - what you know (or believe to be true) about magnetism, and what questions you have about magnetism.  Then join with another group and compare notes.

After that, do some research by inquiring about these questions (online, etc.):

1. What is magnetite?
2. What are North and South poles?
3. What is true about opposite poles and like poles in magnetism?
4. How do we discuss Earth's magnetic field? Where are the magnetic poles?
5. How does a compass work?  That is, how is it "polarized?"
6. How are magnetic fields similar to electric fields?  (Or different?)
7. Research some of the questions you generated in your list(s) above.

See you Thursday.

Sean
