  • Join to access all included materials

All phenomena concerning magnets, their field lines and impact on objects are covered. The trivia surrounding field lines and the earth, electric charges, repulsion and attraction is plentiful. The slide show continues after twenty slides of laboratory facts to give twenty more about Earth's magnetic field and the Aurora Borealis. This PowerPoint will be interesting to your learners, and could even be used to support note-taking during individual computer time or homework.
