Geomagnetism

Educational content: magnetism, magnets, magnetic minerals in the rocks, geomatism and its applications, geophysical prospection using magnetism and its application.

We have posters (in French):

• Magnetism and magnets: what is a magnetic field?
• Magnetic prospection: How magnetism can help understand the ground?
• Geomagnetism: what is the Earth magnetic field?

Several models for demonstration, roughly divided into 6 sections to conduct the presentation:

• Magnetic fishing
• The two poles of a magnet
• The field lines
• Magnetic prospection: the great model
• Magnetism in the rocks
• Geomagnetism: the Earth’s magnet

The workshop "teacher’s guide" is available (in French) on demand before or after the presentation.
