Magnetic Field
View of iron filings as they react to the different poles of a magnet, Massachusetts, late 1950s. Between 1958 and 1961, Abbott worked for the Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as part of an effort to create a new high school science curriculum--her photography, of which this is an example, appeared in a number of pamphlets and textbooks.
