PERFORMANCE TASKS IN SCIENCE 5
THIRD QUARTER
nail, 3-inch (7.6 cm) or longer (made of zinc, iron or steel, but not
aluminum)
COATED copper wire
Battery
Some paper clips or other small magnetic objects
What to do?
1. Leave about 2-3 inches of wire loose at one end and wrap most of the rest
of the wire around the nail. Try not to overlap the wires.
2. Cut the wire (if needed) so that there is about another 2-3 inches loose at
the other end too.
3. Attach the one wire to one end of a battery and the other wire to the other
end of the battery. See picture below. (It is best to tape the wires to the
battery – be careful though, the wire could get very hot!)
4. Now you have an ELECTROMAGNET! Put the point of the nail near a
few paper clips and it should pick them up!
NOTE: Making an electromagnet uses up the battery somewhat quickly
which is why the battery may get warm, so disconnect the wires when you are
done exploring.
