From the wordle,
- Identify ways to use magnets
- Identify the two areas on a magnet that produces the strongest magnetic force
- Discuss the direction of movement with regard to the poles
- Explain how force and work are related
- Explain the relationship between the strength of the electromagnet and electric current
