BIBLE TRUTH
Through God we can gain the strength to do things we never imagined.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
Isaiah 40:31
New International Version (NIV)
31 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
HANDS-ON EXPERIMENT
Magnetic Money
INGREDIENTS
- Neodymium Magnet
- United States Dollar Bill
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Hold the dollar bill so it hangs freely from your fingers. What effect will the neodymium magnet have on the dollar bill?
STEP 2: Look for a location on the dollar bill, which has a lot of ink, bring the neodymium magnet close to the dollar bill, and observe. What happens? Apply what you know to design a way to help a cashier determine if money is counterfeit.
EXPLANATION
To prevent counterfeiting, dollar bills in the United States are printed with magnetic ink, which causes the dollar bill to attract to the neodymium magnet.
