Teach Engineering: Building an Electromagnet

Curated by ACT

Students design and construct an electromagnet that must pick up 10 staples. They begin with only minimal guidance, and after the basic concept is understood, are informed of the properties that affect the strength of that magnet. They conclude by designing their own electromagnet to complete the challenge of separating scrap steel from scrap aluminum for recycling and share it with the class.
