What we Learned from this experiment

Magnetic poles each of the two points or regions of an artificial or natural magnet to and from which the lines of magnetic force are directed.

 

 

The electromagnet is an energised magnet  that has a battery attached to the nail. To make an electromagnet you need a nail,a battery, a wire and some paper clips. First you wrap the wire around the nail as many times as you want. Second you attach the wire to the battery. Last you put the nail above the paper clips and you should be able to pick up some paper clips.

a magnetic field is something that attracts the magnets

Attraction is a property of attracting

What  we  LEARNED  from the experiment?

Jenna: learned from the experiment that an open circuit means that it is off the light bulb will not come on.

Ashley: learned from the experiment that you have to have a closed circuit for a light bulb to light up. If it is closed that means there is no break or open spot in the circuit.

I learned from the experiment that the switch is open the light bulb will be off and if the switch is closed the light bulb will be on. (P.S. Kylie did it)

Jenna: An Electric current is a closed source that means the electricity is going through all of the items in the circuit the source, switch and the light bulb the electricity has a path that it takes.

Ashley: The conductor is an object that can be attracted to a magnet. (Example: A paper clip, the metal part of scissors, a nail and a screw.)

 

 

Our shared IDEAS & DRAWINGS

Our idea is to have at least a few bumpers and to have a motor and a light we are going to have a tunnel that the marble will go through and will hit a button that will turn something on either a motor or a light.
