ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY:

1. Discuss that the earth is a natural magnet and explain that the
magnetic field B serves as its “shield”.
The Earth acts like a big magnet because it has a magnetic field
around it. This magnetic field is like a shield that protects us from harmful
stuff in space, like solar wind and cosmic rays. It's like how a shield protects
a knight from arrows in a battle. Without this shield, these harmful things
could hurt life on Earth.

2. Discuss that the aurora borealis/australis occur as a consequence

of the presence of its magnetic field.
The aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, and aurora
australis, the southern lights, happen because of the Earth's magnetic field
too. When charged particles from the sun hit the Earth's magnetic field, they
interact with gases in our atmosphere. This creates beautiful colored lights
in the sky near the North and South Poles. It's like nature's light show, and
it's all thanks to the Earth's magnetic shield.
