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...

Ask your class what they know about magnets, then take some time and explain basic magnetic properties. This presentation covers polarity, magnets in compasses, and magnetic force. It provides a quick hands-on exploration where kids...

In this cross product and dot product worksheet, students solve 2 problems including finding the magnetic field between 2 poles of a magnet and determining angles between vectors in a word problem about television watching given a scale...

For this Earth's magnetic pole worksheet, students use a diagram showing the changes in the magnetic pole of the Earth over time. Students use the given scale of the changes to answer 6 questions about the average speed of the magnetic...

In this magnetic forces and particle motion worksheet, students use the equation for the radius of a spiral to answer 3 questions about charged particle motion.

Students go ice-fishing. For this magnet lesson students use magnetic fishing poles at the sensory table. the sensory table is full of cotton balls. They find magnetic numbers that have been hidden.

In this satellite synchrony learning exercise, students use a spreadsheet or Least Common Multiples to solve 4 problems related to the satellite orbits, orbital periods and their synchronicity. Students determine when the satellites...

In this math worksheet, students reinforce addition and subtraction facts 0 to 12 by collaborating in a fishing game. Students fish for numbers with a magnet and create a math sentence, flipping a coin to determine the operation used....

Students demonstrate how to take bearings using a compass. In pairs, they select objects in the classroom then write down its first initial and bearing. They exchange papers and try to disciver their partner's object.

Students interpret magnetic field maps, rotate the coordinates to obtain different views, change the coordinate representation, and produce alternate graphical representations.

Students constructaA fishing game that reinforces number recognition,and some basic addition.They use foam sheets to make fish cutouts of different colors and with a addition problem on the bigger one's and the answers on the smaller one.

Students recognize things that are the same and things that are different. They use shape, size, numbers and color, for recognition. They make fish with different shapes/colors on them and 'fish' for the kind of fish that displays the...

Middle schoolers place a pencil perpendicular to the ground and trace its shadow between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. They measure the length of the shadow, periodically over several hours, in either English or Metric units. Using the data,...

In this addition facts activity, learners recognize the numbers and are able to add simple problems by participating in a fishing game. Students use a fishing pole with a washer on the end to fish for magnetic fish made out of foam....

Young scholars participate in a lesson plan in order to reinforce the numbers 0-10, and will also allow the students to practice their counting. Number recognition and the understanding of number size (magnitude) is increased also.

Students listen to teacher read books about fish and participate in activities in order to explore how to identify bluefish. They count and graph the numbers of fish they find in simulated fishing activities.

In this plasmasphere instructional activity, students determine how long the plasmasphere takes to rotate around the Earth using two satellite images taken three hours apart.
