EXPLAIN
Manila paper
Have students to discuss their work what difficulties their marker
encounter while doing the activity and how did they solve the
problem.

ELABORATE
Manila paper
Have the students to discuss their observation as the number marker
of neodymium magnets used is varied and as the length and
width of wire is change.
EVALUATE
 Have the students enumerate the basic parts/ elements of Quiz Notebook
a simple motor.
 In what direction does the loop on the right rotate?
 Based on their observation have the students explain the
operation of a simple electric motor.
EXTEND
 Ask students to tinker with their electric motor model and
try to look for other ways to demonstrate the same effect
by an electromagnetic force.
