Entry Event:
Iron Filing Art: Students will be given a set of magnets - different shapes, sizes, and strength - as well as a baggie with iron filings in it. Students will use the various magnets to create an iron filing masterpiece. Students cannot move the baggie or the contents with anything other than the magnets. Students will explore how shape and size may or may not be related to the strength of the magnet.

MRI Technicians
- Electromagnets are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines to create a magnetic field around a patient and look inside a patient's body. The magnetic forces send radio waves throughout a patient's body and create pictures of the tissues. MRI technicians are responsible for preparing and executing an MRI procedure. Not only do they explain the procedure to the patient, but they also help move the patient onto the MRI platform. Once the MRI procedure is complete, technicians develop the images and pass them on to physicians.
