Lesson Outline
Gracyn continued building her spinning motor today that she began on Tuesday. She connected one end of two wires to a D battery with a rubber band. She connected the other end of the wires to two paper clips. She set the coil she made on Tuesday on the paper clips and put a magnet under the coil. When everything was connected properly, the coil was supposed to spin continuously. It didn't spin so Gracyn thought we needed to sand more of the enamel off of the coil so the wire would be more exposed. She sanded both sides of the wires and put it back together. She put the magnet back and gave the coil a push and it started spinning around and around without stopping. We discussed how the side of the coil that she sanded was attracted to the magnet but the other side with the enamel was not attracted to the magnet which caused it to spin. She was very impressed with her invention.
