Press enter and type "Magnetic Earth" enter and then 'g' to go.
This will take you to a magnetic field earth. The field lines go through space. There are various types of trapped particles that spiral in the field lines forming the radiation belts of the earth.
Also check out "Magnetic Dwarf" for giant space magnets.
Press enter and type " Earth's Interior" then enter, then 'g' . this will take you to an earth where the interior is shown. Scientist are still struggling to explain the earth's magnetic field and how it could be generated from this structure.
Save your powerpoint to your home drive.
Also "ISS" will take you to the international space station. It is still in the Earth's gravity, but as as everything is falling, there is no gravitational force between things that are falling.

Magnetic Force
History
Play act first greek sheperd with an new iron nail in shoe.
Queen Elizabeth's Doctor fashons the first ball magnet proving the world is a magnet.
Chinese use lode stone in water to navigate
Discovery of electric magnets.
Discovery of magnetic shield on earth by US space rockets
Nano milling make super magnets
Superconductors make intense field and we see we are full of tiny magnets.

Advanced Electrostatics.
This simulation show that only electrons move to and from objects and that charges induce or "polarize" objects. Make notes of this in your work book. Note charges are not coloured. Electrons are only "visible" as the silver in metals. The positively charge nucleus are a fixed latice.
This simulation shows the two types of charge, Note in your book how these charges behave.
Improve your intuitieve understanding by playing charge hockey.

Communication and Forces
'In World War II in Great Britain, all church bells were silenced, to ring only to inform of an invasion by enemy troops. The episode "The Battle of Godfrey's Cottage" of the BBC sitcom "Dad's Army" included a scene where the church bells rang by mistake, leading the Home Guard to believe that an invasion was taking place.
From student LF.
Bells was Europe's communication and control mechanism. Around the middle ages every village had a church with bell tower. Bells rang to communicate time and when it was time for prayer. We use bells in this school. There were also bell tunes for specific events.
The North American Indian are famous for using smoke signals.
This lesson we saw the fascinating interaction of electric charge and the bodies own internal communication system of nerves as the hand jumps.

About Me
- drhill
- I come from a Science family: My father Geoffrey Hill was Australia's first computer programmer on CSIRAC the fourth computer in the world. He is credited with invention of Computer music and the development of “Interprogram” a language before Basic. My PhD is in Atomic and Molecular Physics. I have researched the activated oxygen layer above the ozone layer, and 'Assigned' the world's smallest molecule. At the University of Toronto I researched high power UV lasers. I have specialized in automation in fibre optics. This developed into research in Machine Intellect and Robots. I have enjoyed work as an Explainer with Questacon and my time as a part-time soldier. I currently teach High School Science at Epping Boys’ High.
