| Description | Students design a method for separating steel from aluminum based on magnetic properties like is often seen recycling operations. One design requirement is that the magnet must be able to be switched off to allow for the recollection of the steel. Through four lessons and four hands-on activities, students work together to design, test and present an electromagnet to that solves the design challenge. Students are challenged to design a method for separating steel from aluminum based on magnetic properties as is frequently done in recycling operations. To complicate the challenge, the magnet used to separate the steel must be able to be switched off to allow for the recollection of the steel. Guided through four lessons and four associated hands-on activities, students ultimately design, test and present an effective electromagnet to solve the design challenge. |
