Electromagnet Challenge Lab- PLANNING CLASS

Assemble in groups (someone that you have not worked with before) for this exercise. Groups of three are not allowed, but those completing this challenge as a "single" will receive a bonus if they win the competition.

READ THIS OUTLINE CAREFULLY.

You will have the class to Plan and develop the schematic for your electromagnet (to be built and tested next week).  Each group MUST complete a group Planning Sheet attached to an email to the Grade 11 submitted work conference BY THE END OF CLASS.  Any special materials will need to be requested on this sheet and Mr. Inglis will let you know if he can get them for you. Feel free, however, to bring in whatever materials you would like on our build day.

Email Subject: 11B EM Planning Sheet

MAKE SURE THAT YOU RESEARCH AND PLAN YOUR MAGNET CAREFULLY.  YOUR MARK IS BASED ON HOW MUCH MASS THE MAGNET WILL LIFT, BUT POOR PLANNING SHEETS / OUTLINED MAGNETS THAT DO NOT MATCH YOUR PLAN MAY RESULT IN A PENALTY!
