Peer reviewedYoung, Louise B.; Young, H. Peyton – Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 1974
Considers health hazards that may be associated with the electromagnetic effects produced by high voltage electric transmission lines. (GS)

Hoffman, Kenneth A. – Scientific American, 1988
Discusses the question posed by some that the earth's magnetic field may reverse. States that rocks magnetized by ancient fields may offer clues to the underlying reversal mechanism in the earth's core. (TW)
Descriptors: Earth Science, Geology, Geophysics, Magnets
Peer reviewedPhysics Teacher, 1985
If oxygen is attracted to a magnet, is there more oxygen in the air near the north magnetic pole? Explains why the answer to this question (posed by a high school physics student) is "no." (JN)

Peer reviewedVanderkooy, John; Lowe, June – American Journal of Physics, 1995
Presents a demonstration designed to illustrate Faraday's, Ampere's, and Lenz's laws and to reinforce the concepts through the analysis of a two-loop magnetic circuit. Can be made dramatic and challenging for sophisticated students but is suitable for an introductory course in electricity and magnetism. (JRH)

Graham, Mark – Educational Facility Planner, 2002
Describes the planning and design of King/Drew Magnet High School of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles, which provides students with opportunities to explore careers in health care and science through activities in the classroom and at hospital and science research sites. (EV)

Descriptors: Magnets, Physics, Scientific Concepts, Secondary Education
Peer reviewedBentley, Anne K.; Crone, Wendy C.; Farhoud, Mohammed; Ellis, Arthur B.; Lisensky, George C.; Nickel, Anne-Marie L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2005
An experiment that highlights the role electrochemistry plays in the fabrication of nanoscale structures is presented. The movement and alignment of the nickel nanowires were observed, when manipulated using magnetic fields through the lens of an optical microscope using common magnets to alter the applied magnetic field.

Direct linkBunting, C. F.; Cheville, R. A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
A two-course sequence in electromagnetics (EM) was developed in order to address a perceived lack of student learning and engagement observed in a traditional, lecture-based EM course. The two-course sequence is named VECTOR: Vitalizing Electromagnetic Concepts To Obtain Relevance. This paper reports on the first course of the sequence. VECTOR…

Jennings, Louise; Mills, Heidi – Teachers College Record, 2009
Background/Context: In an age of test-driven accountability, many schools are returning to banking pedagogies in which students passively take in content. Inquiry-based instruction offers one approach for actively involving students in meaningful learning activity, however, research on inquiry pedagogies often focuses on academic accomplishments.…
