Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Electric and Magnetic Forces. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
The magnetic force is a non-contact force.
Like electric charges will repel each other.
The greater the strength of the magnets, the greater the strength of the magnetic force between them.
When the number of positive and negative electric charges within an object are equal, the object has no electric charge.
The shorter the distance between magnets, the greater the magnetic force between them.
Electrons will move freely and distribute evenly along the surface of a solid conducting material.
Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
Current is the flow of charged particles through a conducting material resulting from electric force.
Opposite magnetic poles will attract one another.
The motion of a magnet can cause electric current to flow through a conducting material.
The electric force is a non-contact force.
An electromagnet is produced by wrapping current-carrying wire around an iron core.
Electrons flow freely from one particle to another through a conducting material.
Electric force is the force of attraction or repulsion between charged particles.
Every magnetized material has a north and south magnetic pole.
The greater the number of batteries connected to an electromagnet, the greater the strength of the magnetic force produced.
Like magnetic poles will repel one another.
The motion of electric charges (current) can produce a magnetic field.
The greater the number of turns of current-carrying wire around the iron core of an electromagnet, the greater the strength of the magnetic force produced.
Opposite electric charges will attract each other.
Insulating materials prevent the flow of electrons throughout the material.
Magnetic force is the force of attraction and repulsion between two magnetized objects.
When positive and negative charges are separated in different locations within an object, the object is polarized.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What are some uses for a magnet? What are magnets attracted to? What are poles?
After the Game
How do magnets work? What are some factors that affect a magnet's ability to attract other magnets? How do the poles of a magnet attract or repel each other? What is the relationship between the particles that make up an atom and electric charge? What makes some materials good conductors of electricity, while other materials are poor conductors?
