Curated OER
Magnets Attract
Students will be attracted to this magnetic lesson. They must decide which objects are attracted to a large horseshoe magnet, draw their own objects, then color the page. This is a great worksheet to complete to test students' prior...
Curated OER
Magnetic Experiment
Third graders experiment with magnets. In this magnet experiment lesson, 3rd graders explore magnetic attraction and repulsion. Students rotate through four stations and investigate the properties of magnets.
Curated OER
Exploring Magnets
Second graders experiment with magnets. In this magnet lesson, 2nd graders attach a magnet to several different objects to see what it sticks to. They place objects in between a magnet and metal to see if the magnetic force still works.
Curated OER
Magnetic Attraction
In this magnets worksheet, learners fill out a chart to record what is attracted and not attracted to a magnet. Students will experiment with different items to test the magnetic attraction and record the results.
Curated OER
Magnetic Attraction And Cars
In this magnetic attraction learning exercise, students draw arrows to shoe if cars with positive and negative signs repel or attract each other, then write definitions for "attract" and "repel."
Curated OER
Magnets and Springs
In this magnets instructional activity, students guess whether each of 8 objects will be attracted to a magnet. Students try the experiment and write yes or no in the results column.
Curated OER
Magnets
Learners investigate the magnetic attraction of different materials by observing a demonstration, and review the words "attraction" and "materials." Next they conduct exploration of a number of materials which have different properties...
Curated OER
Magnetic Attraction
Second graders create a hypothesis on what objects will attract to magnets. In this magnets lesson plan, 2nd graders use a computer program to create a hypothesis as to what will attract or unattract magnets. For an extension, they test...
