How can you make a motor spin faster? Jan 16 / 17 Act D 56 A Motors and Generators LEARNING TARGET: I can investigate multiple ways to make an electric motor spin faster. CH Q How can you make a motor spin faster? VOCAB: Motor generator electromagnetism device that transforms energy into motion device that transforms motion into electricity magnetic fields making electricity (and electricity making magnetic fields)
PROCEDURE AND DATA MATERIALS: PROCEDURE: Read on pg. D 23-25 and summarize DATA: - Design Investigation / Plan - Collect Qualitative data for each experiment neatly in your journal - Discover as many ‘relationships’ as possible
Relationships Found: The More Energy (more batteries)… ... More Spinning of the copper coil … Faster the motor spun … Brighter the LED light shinned
ANALYSIS - Discuss and answer Q 1 & 4 on pg.D 25 ANS CH Q How can you make a motor spin faster? A: add more electricity and / or use stronger magnets HOMEWORK Vocab packet
