Create two models. In one model, show two magnets that will attract. In the other model show two magnets that will repel. Include magnetic field lines for both.

Do you have magnets at home?

Complete the data tables below.

As distance between attracting magnets increases , potential energy (PE) will ______________________

Complete the data tables below.

As distance between repelling magnets decreases , potential energy (PE) will ______________________

Complete the magnetic field lines for each of the models below. (circle the day that has the most PE)

How will the distance the magnets are placed apart impact the velocity of the launch?

CFS:

• Accurately describes the relationship between magnetic position and the force/field in a system

• Accurately describes the relationship between force and acceleration

"The ___________ repelling magnets are from eachother the _____________ PE there is in the system
