Product Details

Science fiction or science fact—can water-jet propulsion really be generated using electromagnets? Demonstrate the deflection of charged particles by a magnetic field, and discuss the possibilities of harnessing this phenomenon for practical purposes. Discuss magnetic fields, electric fields, magnetic force, electrolysis. A simple demonstration that is sure to pique the curiosity of your students and have them wonder “What if?” Enough materials to repeat the demonstration almost indefinitely.

Concepts: Electric force, magnetic force, electrolysis, Newton’s second and third laws of motion.
Time Required: 20 minutes
Note: Five 9 V batteries are required, but not included.

Performance Expectations

MS-PS2-2: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object
MS-ESS2-5: Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.
MS-ETS1-1: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
HS-PS2-1: Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.
