Have you ever wondered what it is that makes our modern electronic equipment work? Are you familiar with the way your personal computer reads, stores and provides information to the user? If you are like many adults, you really do not understand all the important electronic equipment that we so heavily rely on in today's society.
Early scientists spent many hours researching magnetic charges and forces. Through manipulation of those magnetic forces, know as the magnetic field, scientists were able to create technology that has enabled us to develop much of our current electronic equipment.
This unit on magnetism and basic electronics is designed for Kindergarten and first grade students. Children will be given opportunities to learn about and apply scientific methods, vocabulary and principles as they perform a variety of trials, tests and experiments.
