Instructions for building a simple electromagnetic motor are provided for the teacher. Aside from some sketchy background information and a list of content standards to be met, that is about all you will find in this resource. The motor...

This comprehensive midterm exam covers a vast array of topics typical to high school physics curriculum. Problem solving and mutliple choice questions are incorporated. Review the exam to make sure that the content is suitable to your...

Here you will find detailed instructions for constructing BristleBots, simple robots run by miniscule vibration motors. There is no lesson plan, just a procedure for producing these fun little contraptions. They could be used as an...

Students experience how to construct a simple electromagnet based motor. In groups they explore what a component is and construct a circuit that can rotate the orientation of the magnet by turning the switch on and off. Electromagnetic...

Students investigate the concepts of magnetism and its properties. They construct a magnet and test foods for iron content. Then students define the use of a motor and make their own electric motor while working in small groups. Then...

Students demonstrate that motors work on two different voltages. They connect a single-phase AC motor to run on different voltages.
