Visualizing Lenz's Law
Lesson Study Resources
Description: Studying electromagnetism can be especially challenging for students as they struggle to visualize fields in three dimensions. In this Lesson study, we helped our students to unpack Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s law by getting the students up out of their seats and moving around the room, playing the roles of electrons and magnetic fields.
