Science doesn't have to be
complicated, expensive or use specialized laboratory equipment.
There are great science projects that can be performed using common
household items.
Whether you are a parent or a student trying to find an idea for a science project, a teacher looking for ideas for the classroom, or a science enthusiast who enjoys the delight of experimentation, you'll find what you're looking for in this book. |

What is the
difference between the Geographic north pole and the Magnetic north
pole? To learn more about the North Magnetic Pole,
check the Interesting Websites. While the earth’s magnetic field allows compasses on earth to work, it has a much more vital function. It acts as a shield, protecting the earth from solar particles emissions from the sun. These solar particles are constantly generated, streaming out from the sun in all directions. During solar flares, huge amounts of these particles are generated, creating vast clouds of highly energetic particles that race toward earth at speeds up to 1000km per second. The clouds of particles approach Earth and are deflected away by Earths magnetic field. If these rays were not deflected, life on earth (if it existed) would be radically different. The rays are deflected away from the earth. Once the rays have passed by the earth, some of them move back along the lines of magnetic force to the north and south poles. When the cosmic rays strike the upper regions of the atmosphere, the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) or Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) are formed. The planets that have magnetic fields around them have their own form of the Aurora Borealis. Check the Interesting Websites for more information on science of magnets or check out our webpage on the Magnets and Lodestones. According to the latest work at Nasa, currently, Mars does not have a global magnetic field. But it did have one early in its life, similar to that of Earth. Even though it doesn't have a global magnetic field today, Mars does have very strong crustal magnetic fields, more than 30 times stronger than those of Earth.
