     Diagram the position of the poles of differently shaped magnets.
     Draw conclusions about the poles of magnets.

3. Making Magnets
     Make observations about the magnetic fields of objects.
     Use a permanent magnet to make a temporary magnet.
     Use a Magnetic Field Sensor to measure the magnetic field of magnets.
     Look for relationships between the permanent magnet and temporary magnet.

4. Electromagnets
     Make an electromagnet using a steel nail, a wire and a D battery.
     Measure the strength of the magnet as you wrap more wire around the nail.
