Not bad but try checking your spelling and avoid using caps lock, if you want to emphasize something use bold by putting three apostrophes either side of it like this:

Bold
italic

Italic is two of these ' either side and bold is three.

That was before the switch...

Now you use rich editor and use the buttons or crtl+B and ctrl+I

I did a science fair on an electro magnet. Next time, used glazed wire. Also, you should use at least 100 feet. The wire should be around $.10/ft. Make sure you use a higher voltage/ amperage. that battery is good, or a series of 9 volts can.

I new alot about physics and magnets and all that, oh so many years ago,(im studying again to awaken that dormant giant I put to sleep years ago for it was getting me into trouble) but Im about 80% sure its "Electro-magnet" not electric magnet. Overall very educational instructible.

Although if you call it an electric magnet it may mean that he didn't find this idea somewhere else and found it out his or herself! (that's cool).

I would also say check your spelling; small things like changing arent to aren't, or are not, makes a difference in the end.
