The force that acts across the air gaps between magnets is the same force that creates wonders such as the Aurora Borealis. In fact, magnetic effects pervade our lives in myriad ways, from electric motors to medical imaging and computer memory. In this chapter, we introduce magnets and learn how they work and how magnetic fields and electric currents interact.

Introduction to magnetism: Wikipedia article that provides an overview of the concept.

Managing time involves accurately predicting how much time it will take to do a task, and then setting aside that amount of time to complete it. Managing time is much more difficult than it may seem, which is why there are entire courses of study and research on the best approaches. But if you develop a method to undertake each component, you’ll be successful.

This online tutorial guides you through what information a map shows, map legends and the different types of maps which are available.

Using position-time graphs and number lines to find displacement and distance traveled.

This online tutorial will provide you with some guidelines on how to interpret both topographic and geologic maps.
