Special Topic: Electromagnetic Fields
This activity is designed to help students understand how electric and magnetic fields (also called electromagnetic fields, or EMFs) are produced, the potential effects of EMFs on human health, and the controversy surrounding those potential effects. Students will conduct a survey, learn how to measure the strength of EMFs, and discuss EMF legislation through a role-playing exercise.
