Fun School Projects with Magnets and Metal

Science is one of the most interesting and fun subjects for kids.

There are endless opportunities for practical experiments that are sure to surprise and excite children's

imaginations. A great way to get into experimenting with science is with the use of magnets. The properties

of magnets allow for an

“

invisible force

” to move objects seemingly on their own!

If your kids are looking for something a little trickier, why not let them try using magnets to make

their own compass

（指南针）？

For this experiment, you will need 2 needles, a strong magnet, a pencil, a cup and some string.

Step 1: Rub the pointed end of the needle along one side of the magnet

；

this can be either the north

or south end. Make sure you are rubbing the needle in one direction, not back and forth. You might need to

do this about 30 times to magnetise the needle.

Step 2: Test the now magnetised needle with the spare needle to see if it can pick it up. If it can, the

needle is ready to use for the experiment. If it doesn't pick it up, you will need to rub the needle a few more

times on the same end of the magnet you were using before.

Step 3 : With a piece of string that is a couple of inches long, get your child to tie this to the middle of

the pencil. Then, at the bottom end of the hanging string, tie the magnetised needle.

Step 4: Place the pencil, with the needle hanging down, over the top of a cup so that the needle is

hanging inside the cup.

Step 5 : Watch as the needle moves on its own to point north.

Once your kids have got a taste for magnets, you might want to move on to more advanced experiments.

3

Places like RS Components sell high- tech magnetic equipment that will be sure to carry on fuelling your

children's passion for science!

awake.

Throwing on his shoes, he ran out to investigate. Fee and his wife were travelling through Canada's Banff

National Park to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and awesome wildlife. It was the latter he now experienced.

Although it was dark, Fee could see a neighboring tent was in a mess. Backing out was a wolf, dragging

something in his teeth. That thing was a man J

At one point, Matt got the upper hand, pinning

the wolf to the ground. But the wolf held its jaw onto

Matt's arm tightly, set its powerful legs, and began dragging Matt outside while I was pulling on his legs

trying to get him back

Elisa wrote.

It was then that Fee entered the picture. He ran at the wolf, kicking it “like I was kicking in a door,

Before the wolf could turn its anger on Fee, Matt, his arms bloodied, flew out of the tent to continue

the battle. The men threw rocks at the wolf, forcing it back, then the Fees and the Rispolis escaped to the

shelter of the Fees

, An ambulance was called, and Matt was taken to a local

hospital suffering from open wounds. Luckily he has fully recovered. The wolf was tracked down by park

officials and killed in a painless way.

As for Fee, whom Elisa called their lifesaver, he does admit to a fleeting

In autumn of 1975, two mothers in Lyme, Connecticut, were desperate for answers their doctors could not

provide. Their families and others in the Lyme area were suffering from a mysterious

（神秘的）

illness.

Two doctors from Yale, Allan Steere and Stephen Malawista, began an investigation that would result in a

groundbreaking medical discovery.

The doctors began by conducting individual examinations of each patient They found patients of all

ages were suffering from a set of symptoms

（症状）

rarely observed together. Blood samples revealed no

virus that offered a clue about the cause. However, they found fruitful information in their interviews with

patients: one quarter of them recalled a skin rash

（

皮疹）

with a bull’s

-eye pattern about four weeks before

other symptoms arose.

Armed

with

this

new

clue,

the

Department

of

Health

worked

with

the

Yale

doctors,

conducting

surveys to learn where the disease was most widely seen. It seemed that the majority of patients lived in

heavily wooded areas, who spent a good deal of time outdoors, gardening, landscaping, or playing. The

symptoms

were

nearly

always

experienced

for

the

first

time

during

summer.

Crucially,

some

recalled

having been bitten by a tick

（蝉），

which feeds mostly on the blood of mammals and birds.

By 1977, investigators confirmed that the deer tick was responsible. But no one could say why it was

causing

the

illness

or

how

patients

could

be

treated.

In

1982,

a

scientist

named

Willy

Burgdorfer

discovered a specific type of bacteria

（

细菌）

，

c arried by the deer tick, which was causing the disease. But

how did the deer tick acquire the bacteria in the first place? Finally, scientists determined that the ticks

picked up the bacteria from their hosts. As its name suggests, the deer tick often feeds on deer, carriers of

the Lyme disease bacteria. Scientists concluded that the bacteria passed from wildlife to ticks to humans.

5

All lived closely among one another in the area.

How could a disease from a common parasite

（寄生虫）

spring up so suddenly? Many areas of the

northeast, including Lyme, were once farmland. The farmland was replanted with trees. After the forest

grew in, the area was then developed with houses. Gradually, neighborhoods pushed deeper into the habitat

of deer ticks and, more importantly, the wildlife they fed upon. As humans encountered more ticks, they

became more likely to contract the disease.

One of the remaining mysteries about Lyme disease is where and when it truly began. This puzzle

may never be solved. Today, Lyme disease

——

if caught early

—

is easily treated with antibiotics, thanks to

the hard work of many scientists, doctors, and patients.

38.

Which of the following method helped Dr. Steere and Dr. Malawista most?

A.

Conducting patient interviews.

B. Carrying out a field survey.

D. Separating patients into age groups.

.

C. Studying patients

blood samples.

39.

From the passage, we can learn that

A.

deer ticks were first carriers of the Lyme disease bacteria

B.

patients

9

remembrance of tick bites was vital to the medical discovery

C.

Lyme disease spread because deer ticks and humans both fed on deer

D.

Lyme disease is less common now because people spend less time outdoors

Lately, her work has been about explaining new ways of interpreting the behavior we see online. She
