Its a good idea to looking at the notes from the markers found at the board site.

• Fully explains both investigations which could include
– Investigation 1: Since the solenoid is not in a circuit, no current can be
induced by the magnetic field. No current → no induced magnetic field
→ no motion.
– Investigation 2: The circuit is closed, so magnet induces current in
solenoid. Lenz’s law says the current will produce a magnetic field
opposing the changing field that induced it. So direction of induced
field is opposite to field of magnet. They repel, and solenoid moves to
the LEFT. Includes both a description of Lenz’s law and gets direction
of motion correct
