<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req6b /></b>

:<b>c. <section begin=req6c /><noinclude></noinclude>How do animals use the earth's magnetic fields?
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req6c /></b>

<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req6e /></b>

:<b>f. <section begin=req6f /><noinclude></noinclude>Learn about evidence of the earth’s pole reversal and current studies of the weakening of the earth’s magnetic strength and theories on what this could mean to life on earth.

<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req6f /></b>

<b>7. <section begin=req7 /><noinclude></noinclude>Convert a screwdriver to a temporary magnet and demagnetize it again and understand why this is useful.
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req7 /></b>

<b>8. <section begin=req8 /><noinclude></noinclude>Make an electromagnet. How do the north and south poles alternate when current is reversed?
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req8 /></b>

<b>9. <section begin=req9 /><noinclude></noinclude>Using an experiment of your choosing, illustrate magnetic levitation.
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req9 /></b>

<b>10. <section begin=req10 /><noinclude></noinclude>Disassemble an electric motor and find the magnets. Discuss with your instructor the role of magnets in the motor.
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req10 /></b>

<b>11. <section begin=req11 /><noinclude></noinclude>At home, salvage magnets from at least five different types of devices that are being thrown away or recycled.
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req11 /></b>

<b>12. <section begin=req12 /><noinclude></noinclude>Michael Faraday was a devout Christian and made many contributions to science and is especially known for his work with magnets. Watching videos or reading books, learn about Mr. Faraday’s life and what many claim his Christian faith influenced his scientific mind. Be able to explain how his work with magnets is instrumental in our understanding of electricity.
<noinclude></noinclude><section end=req12 /></b>

<b>13. <section begin=req13 /><noinclude></noinclude>Memorize {{bible link|James 4:7-8}} and discuss how God’s love for us is similar to magnetism and how it is different.
