Modelling ancient and modern magnetic fields, using people!

Our ELI today is 'Human magnets! - modelling ancient and modern magnetic fields, using your pupils'.

Pupils use their own bodies to model the magnetisation induced in magnetite mineral particles by the Earth’s field of today: also the magnetic evidence within ancient rocks for ‘continental drift’.

Related activities can be found in 'Magnetism' in our Investigating the Earth category.
