Curated OER
Attractive Alloys
Include a lab about alloys and magnets in your fourth grade science lesson. Young scientists read the necessary background knowledge about alloys, then choose which objects (a screw, a bell, scissors, or coins) will be attracted to...
Exploratorium
Exploratorium: Curie Temperature
In this experiment, students experience the Curie point--and what happens when a piece of iron gets too hot to attract a magnet.
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
Magnet Academy: Drawing Field Lines
A well illustrated activity where students investigate and draw the magnetic field lines created with a bar magnet and a compass.

Smile: Fish and Clip
Primary activity to help "students understand some of the characteristics of magnets." Would work well in conjunction with a theme on underwater creatures or fish.
PBS
Pbs Teachers:magnetic Storm: Visualizing Magnetic Fields
Explore the magnetic fields around different shapes of magnets.
