Bellringer: Explain how generators and motors utilize magnetic &
electrical fields.

As a class we will discuss the key components of all motors and

generators and how electrical and magnetic forces allow for their
function in our daily lives.
ACTIVITY: (I DO, WE DO, YOU DO, I CHECK)
ui Students will complete an argument analysis as a group. They will be
