Make your own easy model of magnetic Earth

Continuing our theme of magnetism, the ELI today is 'Recipe for a magnetic Earth and a magnetic detector; using a stress ball and small magnet, with a needle and thread to model magnetic Earth'

Once pupils have made their ‘magnetic Earth’ this can also be tested using a Magnaprobe™ to show the direction of Earth’s magnetism at different altitudes.

Many activities related to magnetism can be found on our website.
