The Science of Magnets
Students are introduced to the concept of magnetism and investigate the properties of magnets. In this magnetism activity, students identify a magnet then examine why certain things are attracted to magnets and some things are repelled...
Curated OER
Magnetism
Middle schoolers experiment with the concept of magnetism. Working in small groups, students design an experiment to test the magnet attraction of various substances. After completing their experiments, middle schoolers research...

Magnetic Pick-ups
Students investigate the push and pull of magnets. In this magnetics instructional activity, students are introduced to the idea that there are forces that happen on earth which cannot be seen, such as electrically charged objects,...
Curated OER
Exploring Magnetic Fields
Students explore the concept that magnets attract and repel items and exert a magnetic field that can vary in strength. They see evidence of the magnetic field of a small magnet. They see that there are forces on earth which cannot be seen.
Curated OER
Properties of Magnetic Forces
Students explore what a magnetic force is and what kinds of objects are attracted to a magnet. They use a magnet to sort objects taht are and are not attracted to a magnet. Students then explain why the objects were or were not...
Curated OER
Magnetism
Second graders conduct a variety of inquiry based learning activities. In this magnetism lesson, 2nd graders explore magnets with a partner, they learn the terms attract and repel, examine the poles of a magnet, and complete other...
Curated OER
Magnetism
In this magnetism worksheet, students answer ten questions about magnets, their magnetic poles, the magnetic lines of flux and how magnets work.
Curated OER
Magnets
In this magnets worksheet, learners read for information, observe diagrams, and experiment. In this identifying the correct answer and T-Chart worksheet, students answer nine questions.
Curated OER
Magnetism: What is a Magnetic Field?
Learners make a compass. For this magnetism lesson, students use the Internet to research magnetic fields and perform an experiment to find the magnetic fields around different magnets. Learners use the Internet to research compasses,...
Curated OER
Magnetism
Students study magnetism and how certain materials can be attracted. In this magnetism instructional activity students research magnetism on the Internet.
Curated OER
What Materials Do Magnets Attract?
In this magnets worksheet, students will test different objects to see if they are attracted to the magnet or not. Students will then write in that object under the magnetic column or nonmagnetic column based on their results.
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...

Opposites Attract
Whether they pull together or push away from one another, magnets are sure-fire pupil pleasers! Take their study of magnetism to a new level with a fun interactive. Individuals control the polarity of two spheres to observe attractive or...
Physics Classroom
Charge Interactions
Has your class been repelled by your previous magnetism lesson plan? Try a fun interactive instead! The activity, part of the Static Electricity series, challenges scholars to infer the charges of a group of magnets based upon their...
Glynn County School System
Earth's Magnetic Field and the Moon
The surface of the moon has an amazing tale to tell. Learn about the moon's story with a PowerPoint presentation that describes the unique features of the moon's surface as well as explains its movement in relation to Earth.
Concord Consortium
Direction of Force on Charged Objects
Make your unit on magnetism a force to be reckoned with! Physical science scholars examine the direction of force on charged objects through a simple interactive. Pupils control the charge of the stationary object, then observe how it...
Science Matters
Electromagnets
Classes are sure to get all wrapped up in an attractive lesson! Young scientists learn how to combine electricity and magnetism as they create electromagnets. They create their own electromagnets and collect data on their strength as...
