You need a battery (power source), a wire to wrap into coils, and an iron nail (magnetic core). Wrapping the wire around the nail and connecting the ends to the battery produces an electromagnet. (Use insulated copper wire, strip the ends, and avoid leaving it connected too long to prevent overheating.)
