Students will use the 20 gauge copper wire and neodymium magnets in their pursuit of the most efficient design for a wave powered electricity generator. By coiling the wire around different diameters of graduated cylinders and using different combinations of neodymium magnets, using Faraday's Laws of electromagnetism, students will light small bulbs and measure current. By creating their own power generators using wave energy, students will be able to make real life connections between math and physics principles and natural ocean systems. Students will be able to test their wave generator designs and evaluate the results using engineering principles of design.
