Happy New Year of 2009
My second year classes have been studying magnets and magnetic fields. We had a great discussion about magnetic fields. Our talk after our experiments included how vital is our planet`s magnetic field. We even managed to squeeze in a discussion about the Northern Lights.
Check out the cool picture of the magnetic field made visible around a magnet using iron filings.
