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.
