Year 3 Science

Before half term, Year 3 were amazed to learn how to create an electromagnet. 

Harry (Year 13) was on hand to explain some of the science behind it all and we watched with interest as the strength of the magnetic field was altered by first changing the current and then later changing the number of coils of wire around the nail. 

Harry also demonstrated how magnets could be used when building a simple generator. Thank you for sharing and enlightening us all!
