Electromagnetic Induction Virtual Lab
Use the simulation “Faraday’s Electromagnetic Lab” (in the Electricity, Magnetism, and Circuits section) on the website http://phet.colorado.edu/new/simulations/index.php to help complete this upcoming lab. Click the “Electricity, Magnets & Circuits” (in the left hand column), click on “Faraday’s Electromagnetic Lab”, click on the “Run Now” button to start.
Bar Magnet Tab – General Magnetism
Click on the Bar Magnet Tab and you should see a bar magnet and compass on the screen. Please note that the color red refers to North and white refers to South. Place the compass at the North end of the bar magnet and observe which way the “red tip” of the compass points. Move the compass to the South end and observe where the “red tip” of the compass points.
Practice using this site in preparation for this upcoming lab!

Faraday and Nicholai Tesla were so far ahead of their times. Tesla did all kinds of things with electricity that were thought to be impossible.
I am so glad that your class engages the kids with such cool stuff. I wish that I could attend your class Dr. Anderson :-}
I am so lame, his name is Nikola Tesla...
Mrs.A or Mrs.C,
I tried the Faraday's Electromagnetic Lab tonight.It was awesome!My mom thought my homework was cool.My mom helped me because some of it was tricky

Mrs.A or Mrs.C,
I did the Faraday's Electromagnetic Lab homework tonight. My mom and I did it together. We thought it was a pretty awesome homework assignment.
Love, Kaitlyn Carter xoxxooxoxxxx
Mrs.C,
I love the book, The Thing about Georgie that we are reading in class.
See you tomorrow.
Love, Kaitlyn Carter xoxoxox
PS. You are Awesome.
Kaitlyn,
I am glad you enjoyed the virtual lab assignment. You are such a wonderful student.
Love,
Ms. Anderson
Chris and I have started on the first part of the virtual lab. What a great website! Chris actually looks at it as a game instead of homework.
Thanks for always making learning fun.

Hi,
You made my day! I was so glad to hear you say that learning is fun!! Thank you for all you do for Chris and our class!
Ms. Anderson
Going through the lab, My daughter and I stumbled over the question about the North Geographic Pole really being the South Magnetic Pole. However, I think that the North Magnetic Pole must really be the South Magnetic Pole, or otherwise a North bar magnet (the needle on the compass) would be repeled and not attracted. Are we on the right path Doctor Anderson?
The lab is wicked cool :-}
Dr. R.
We may need to tweak things a bit. I will do some investigative work and find out from our in house experts, Mr. and Mrs. P.
Thanks for all you do for DA.
Dr. A.
Mrs.Rabe I already started on my virtual lab.It so cooool!When I started I was so stumped.I didn't really get #2 when it said "Explain why the geogrphic north pole is the magnetic south pole." In your spare time in class is fine if you can explain it to me in class? My favorite question in the virtual lab sheet is #13 and #14.Those were awsome questions.Can't wait until you read it!

The north pole is the north magnetic pole. A compass points north because the south pole of the needle is the part that always points north.
Hope this helps!!
Ms.Anderson,today I found a compass and tried to see if three magnets will have the same strength to move the compass.The first magnet was a barmagnet,next a circuler magnet and last but not least a horseshoe magnet.After iI tried all of the diffrent magnets to see if they had all the same strength.Turns out that they did have all the same strength.Each magnet moved the magnet from North to South to East to West.And I thout it was preety cool to do this lab in my house.
