Digital Agenda November 19: Magnetism Unit Test

Standards:
MS-PS2-3. Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.

MS-PS2-5. Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.

MS-PS3-2: Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system. 



Objectives
1. Students will identify and explain how the strength, potential energy, and type of force exerted by magnets and electromagnets differs based on variables such as distance, pole orientation, materials, and set up in the Magnetism Unit Test with a 3 or better.
