This is also written in three parts to reduce the 
amount of equipment required and also to give the students the 
opportunity to try out several different aspects of magnetism.  Again, you 
can either have 2 tables for each part or run the activity at the same 
time as the electricity activity so you only need one of each experiment 
(this is what I've done in the past). 
This activity is connected to the Electricity and Magnetism unit.  Part 1
 is investigating magnetic fields.  Part 2
 is testing what materials are attracted to magnets.  Part three 
explores electromagnetism and electric - magnetic field interactions.
