Do you know a teacher that brings learning to life and inspires kids to want to learn? In celebration of National Teacher Appreciation week, May 2--6, the Rayovac Division of Spectrum Brands, Inc. ("Rayovac") is recognizing inspirational teachers by hosting the Teachers Bring Science to Life Contest. Students, parents, administrators and teachers have the opportunity to nominate an amazing K-6 educator for a chance to win one of three all-expense paid trips to attend Steve Spangler's Science in the Rockies workshop -- an intensive three-day, hands-on science training held in Denver, Colorado.

Rayovac will accept teacher nominations at www.rayovac.com/science beginning on Monday, May 2, 2011 until 11:59 p.m. (CST) on May 16, 2011.

Could you try this with a car battery?

[Pilotguy251]

Could you use this music in more of your Sick Science videos?

[CardTrickPerformance]

the electricity flowing through the wire is only moving in one direction, and since the closest thing in its magnetic field is the nail, made of Iron, a magnetic mateirial, the iron will become a magnet. what i like about electro magnets is that you can turn them on and off.

[izzywizzy2310]

All we did in science was bang the nail on the table and it worked ;)

[nocturnallyinsane]

@MrChickn Some of the nails I've come across were already magnetized. Perhaps that is what he meant by testing the nail? *shrug*

[lilpete313]

Ohh Steve, you sneaky little fellow switching up the music.
