Electric motors are ubiquitous in our world today. From the tiny vibrator in a cell phone to the starter in our car to the humming motor of a train that is so powerful that it needs a diesel engine to power it � electric motors are everywhere. But does the average person even know how they work?
The experiment involves one of the simplest electric motors possible, yet the science behind it is fascinating.
Tennessee Science Standards:
CLE 3231.5.1 Examine the properties of electric forces, electric charges, and electric fields.
CLE 3231.5.2 Explore the flow of charge and electric currents.
CLE 3231.5.6 Understand magnetic poles, magnetic fields, and investigate electromagnetic induction.
CLE 3231.5.7 Understand that moving charges give rise to magnetism, low of charge and electric currents.
The Kit (for a classroom of 25 students) includes:
1. 12 bags. Each bag includes: (1 size D battery,1 copper coil, 2 bar magnets).
2. 1 pack of 100 non-skid paper clips
3. 2 rolls of electric tape
4. 2 scissors
