Indy Labs - We Put The Science In Your Hands
Did you know that there are different types of magnetism? When I learned this back in school, it blew my mind. Ferromagnetism, Paramagnetism, and Diamagnetism are all different magnetic properties a material can have, and each is quite different from the other. But there's more! You can actually use Diamagnetism to cause a normal item like pencil lead (graphite) to levitate! You don't want to miss out on this one!
More Electromagnetic Fun!
Indy Labs #28 - Lenz's Law - youtu.be/hQpXThBbjW4
Indy Labs # 27 - Slow Falling Magnets - youtu.be/0KxgmGACmYA
Indy Labs #26 - Induced Levitation - youtu.be/VZmkaYawDoI
Indy Labs #25 - DIY Electroscope - youtu.be/fCpaNzpFhPo
The Indy Labs series focuses on at home science experiments that are low cost and (usually) easy to do, but still drive the science concepts home.
Some science videos show you how to do something cool, but explain very little of it. Others explain concepts, but are very passive and give the viewer little to actually do. With Indy Labs, we put the science in your hands, teaching you concepts, but at the same time, giving you an experiment to try on your own!
If you try the lab, please leave a comment and let us know how it went Also, snap some photos of YOUR at home trials for this or any of the Indy Labs experiments, and upload them to Twitter and/or Instagram. Use #IndyLabs so we can all see your results!
