Do you now what is an electromagnet? It is a magnet that works with electricity! So, let's try to make one!!


Materials:
A large iron nail


2  3feet of copper wire


A fresh D size battery


A few paper clips

Instructions

Leave about 8inches of wire loose at one end and wrap most 

of the rest of the wire around the nail. Try not to overlap the 

wires. Do the same with the other wire.


Connect one wire to one end and the other wire to the other
