Procedure

Permanent magnets are always magnetic.
There is another way to make a magnet, using electricity.
We are going to make magnets using electricity: called electromagnets. They are used constantly in our lives.

Notes

gordon elementary science club (grade 1-3) did electromagnet then motor.
ingridscience (grade 4/5) did Electromagnet and Speaker after three magnet stations - see lesson plan magnet stations and more magnets
