Did you know you can turn a regular steel bolt into a powerful magnet, with a little bit of copper wire and a 9V battery?! The best thing about this magnet, is that you can turn it on or off whenever you want!
This type of magnet is called an electromagnet! An electromagnet is "a metal object turned into a magnet, by electricity flowing in a coil around it". In this video, you'll see how you can make one and learn all about the science behind it!
Don't forget to let me know if you did this experiment, by using #sillysciencewithsimon on Instagram, or by sending me an email at sillysciencewithsimon@gmail.com!
