This illustrated talk presented at the meeting of the National Science Teachers Association on November 18, 2000, provides tips and examples on why and how to make the study of science interesting. The works of Oersted, Ampere, Faraday, William Gilbert and Robert Norman are used as examples of research on magnetism. Direct application to Earth Science is cited in regard to how the magnetic record in sea floor lava helped to confirm Continental Drift and develop the Theory of Plate Tectonics. The site also contains links to three websites with curriculum materials on magnetism and space science.
