17. Invisible Forces: Electromagnetism in Action

Career Field – Engineering

You will investigate the forces of magnets attracting or repelling various objects, the effect of magnets on compass needles, and the ability of electricity to make a magnetic field. You will try to “see” the invisible forces at work by observing the effects of your experiments. In the end, you will build your own electric motor that you can take home.
