involve electrons     -      positive and negative charges    -  North and South pole  -

 create  a "field" -   same sign charges repel each other    -     unlike poles attract each other  -

   like poles are repelled -     ferromagnetic materials   -   electric  circuit  - 

 electromagnet    -     electric conductors  -   different sign charges are attracted

We do it all together in class. It should look like this.  

Then you do activities 4, 5 and 7 in your notebook.  Activity 3 is voluntary.
