Second graders classify objects and create hypotheses regarding their magnetic properties. They watch a video about magnets and finally use a magnet to test their hypotheses created earlier.

Students identify the properties of a magnet. In this physics instructional activity, students explore the strength of the magnet by testing out how a magnet reacts to various materials. The various objects the students test include...

Students investigate the properties of magnets. In this physics activity, students view a Powerpoint presentation on magnets and list facts about magnets they learned. Students use magnets in the classroom to identify what materials they...

Pupils investigate magnets and how they work. They read and discuss the book, What Makes a Magnet and record their observations as they complete activities. After exploring the magnet set, they record their predictions and results for...

Second graders conduct a variety of inquiry based learning activities. In this magnetism instructional activity, 2nd graders explore magnets with a partner, they learn the terms attract and repel, examine the poles of a magnet, and...

Youngsters test magnetic strength by measuring the mass of paper clips that they "hook" with a magnet. Your first and second graders should love the hands-on activities associated with this plan. The reproducible materials are quite good...

Students experience, experiment and observe the pulling power of magnets by making their own magnet amazing maze on recycled file folders or a poster board. They utilize magnets to guide figures around turns, into dead ends and to the...

Learners explore how the earth is a magnet and that magnets have two "poles".  In this magnetic lesson students complete an activity by designing their own compass. 

Second graders are introduced to magnets and magnetic forces. In groups, they discover which everyday materials are magnetic and their effect on other objects. Using the internet, they examine the various uses of magnets in the real...

Second graders experiment with and explore magnets. They manipulate them to see how they react with other magnets and with other objects. They experiment to see how magnets work through different thicknesses of objects (paper,...

Students explore magnetism. They make observations of everyday items regarding their magnetic attraction and use their experiences to make a prediction.

Young scholars conduct an experiment.  In this magnets lesson, students review what they know about magnetism, work in groups to determine the magnetism of various objects and discuss their results.

Students explore magnetism by observing a series of 8 magnet "tricks" performed by the instructor. In this magnets instructional activity, students predict which items will be attracted to a magnet and experiment to see if they predicted...

Young scholars investigate magnetism. In this physics lesson, students create a KWL chart about magnetism and research various suggested websites to find out more about magnetism. Young scholars log on to the "BrainPOP" website and view...

Students explore magnetic attraction. In this magnets instructional activity, students participate in an interactive whiteboard activity in which objects are dragged onto a virtual table and categorized as to whether they are "repelled"...

Students explore the different types of magnets and their common uses.  In this magnets lesson plan students create their own magnets. 

Second graders experiment with magnets. For 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.

Learners complete a series of experiments using magnets. In this physical science and magnetism lesson plan, students first predict and test the magnetic properties of various objects, then learners determine if the size of a magnet...

Pupils explore the science of magnets and how magnets work. They conduct a series of fun experiments and magnetize objects and demonstrate how magnetism operates right through other materials.

Students explore physical science by participating in a class science activity. In this magnet attribute lesson, students define a list of scientific vocabulary terms associated with magnets and participate in hands on magnet activities....

Students examine magnets; what they are made of, how they work and where they come from.

Second graders participate in a teacher demonstration of the polarity of magnets. They observe how magnets repel and attract items before drawing their observations on worksheets. They manipulate the donut magnets, discuss their action...

Second graders discover what magnets can do. In this magnet lesson students make predictions about magnets. They experiment with the magnets and record their data on a chart.

Second graders read and discuss the book "What Magnets Can Do." They recall the explanations of magnet, attract, repel, and magnetic poles from their reading. They work in pairs to discover the properties of magnets using a magnet and...
