The SEP booklet ‘Supermagnets’ looks at the new generation of rare earth magnets
- the remarkable strength of these magnets has led to their use in a wide range
of applications – from fasteners in clothing and jewellery, to heavy-duty
industrial clamps. Students find these magnets fascinating to explore, and there
is a wide range of possibilities for using supermagnets in practical work. (Mainly
KS3)
See below for the practical resources that have been identified and developed
specifically for use with the activities in this booklet.
Further resources can be downloaded from the 'Supermagnets' page on the SEP
website, including an electronic version of the booklet. (Access
is for SEP Teacher Associates - this scheme is free
to join for science teachers and technicians in UK secondary schools.) |
