HS-PS2-5: Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that an electric current can produce a magnetic field and that a changing magnetic field can produce an electric current. HS-PS2-5 Evidence Statements The NGSS performance expectations are basically asking that students re-create the experiments of Michael Faraday. In 1831, Faraday discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism. His experiments showed that electric currents could be manipulated to create magnetic fields and magnetic fields could be manipulated to create electric currents. I recently had my students compete in an engineering challenge as they worked towards meeting this learning standard. The students really enjoyed having the opportunity to explore the topics of electricity and magnetism, design and build their electromagnets, test them and then finally compete. Students were allowed to use the following materials. Students were allowed to request add...
