How Do You Make Batteries Or Magnet Experiments?
“Hi I’m Steve Jones and we are going to look at some battery and magnet experiments. Now the first thing let’s keep this simple and let’s use things which we will find commonly around the home, electric wire, there is often bits and ends of electric wire.

You will also find that you are also investigating heating
