This is a great physics experiment that can be done at school or at home. It makes a good science fair project or just a fun activity to do with the kids on the weekend. You probably have most of the materials you need around the house or you can get them with a quick trip to the grocery or hardware store. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the relationship between the number of times the wire is wound around the metal bolt and the strength of the electromagnet. This experiment incorporates many of the activities that scientists do every day, including building and testing scientific equipment, collecting and analyzing data and drawing conclusions from your observations. There is a full demonstration of this experiment on my Step by Step Science YouTube channel. Link to the video: https://youtu.be/Ar-6s_tF3tM An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. The electromagnets you will use in this experiment are made from a length of wire wrapped around a large metal bolt. A battery will be connected to each end of the wire. A current will then flow through the coil of wire producing a magnetic field inside the coil. The metal bolt concentrates the magnetic field in the coil, making it stronger. The field disappears when the current is turned off.

Need a great lab activity to engage your students and light up your classroom? This activity combines everything that students love: lab work, flames and color. In this lab your students will try to identity the following six metal salts based on their emission colors. Calcium chloride: Orange Copper chloride: Blue green Lithium chloride: Red orange Sodium chloride: Yellow Potassium chloride: Light violet Strontium chloride: Red Just like every person has a unique finger print, the color of light emitted by a metal when heated in a flame is unique to that metal. The emission colors can therefore be used to identify specific metals. When the metal salts are placed in the flame the electrons in each atom absorb energy. This energy is used to move the electrons from their ground state to an excited state. When the electrons move back to a lower energy level they emit the absorbed energy as a particle of light called a photon. You can see a video of the flame test colors on my YouTube channel. I hope you enjoy this great activity, I know your students will. Contents: Teacher’s Guide. Flame test lab worksheets and solutions in PDF and editable Pages documents.

In the second activity students will collect data that they will use to derive the equation that describes the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction when light passes across a boundary between two materials with different indices of refraction, such as water, glass, or air. This is known as Snell’s Law and is used in ray tracing to compute the angles of incidence or refraction, and in experimental optics to find the refractive index of a material. In the final section, they will then use Snell’s Law to calculate the angles and the indices of refraction.
