A magnet will pick up an object that is made of...

• plastic

• iron or steel

• glass

• copper

How do you make an electromagnet stronger?

• Add a motor and/or lightbulbs
• Add more light bulbs and/or wire coils
• add more wire coils and/or a switch
• add more wire coils and/or batteries

What is true about electricity and magnetic fields?

• Electricity is needed to create any magnet.
• Electricity always creates a magnetic field.
• Electricity is stronger than a magnetic field.
• Electricity prevents magnetic fields from occurring.
