Modeling Planetary Magnetism Lab

NASA Science has released a new lab activity for high school students investigating planetary magnetic fields. Using physical models and smartphone sensors, students can map and compare the magnetic properties of Earth and Mars, directly applying physics concepts to real-world solar system science. The activity incorporates data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale mission and aligns with national science standards, with educators able to download it as a free PDF resource.
