Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Magnetic Field Lines
A large magnet is inserted into a tank of floating iron filings to reveal the magnetic field. Use this to show the shape of a magnetic field as well as how its strength appears to decrease the farther away from the magnet. The video is...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Experiment : Magnetic Field Viewer
Iron filings are suspended in a bottle of baby oil and then a magnet is held up to it to bring the magnetic field to view. The remainder of this homemade video gives the instructions for making this 3-D magnetic viewing cell from common...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Metals Can be Attractive!
After reading a short paragraph about metals and magnets, young scientists circle the things they think will be attracted by a magnet. There are six objects for them to consider. A nice worksheet to help get a discussion on magnets and...
Lesson Planet: 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...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Magnet Mania
Youngsters go on a magnetic fishing trip! Use an engaging and clever language arts lesson plan to reinforce the recognition of the letters of the alphabet with very young readers. A fishing pole is made of a ruler and a piece of string...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Magnetism
All phenomena concerning magnets, their field lines and impact on objects are covered. The trivia surrounding field lines and the earth, electric charges, repulsion and attraction is plentiful. The slide show continues after twenty...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Magnet Circus
Young scholars explore the properties of magnets by designing a device that can move as far as possible using only magnets to move it, and design a machine that will stay in motion for the greatest period of time.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Exploring Magnets and Magnetism
Here is a very good lesson on magnets, magnetism, and magnitic fields that is chock full of great activities for you to implement with your young scientists. Learners discover the properties of magnets, look at the forces of attraction...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Magnets: Magnetic Pick-Ups
Fourth graders investigate the affect of magnetism on various objects. They determine ways of sorting or classifying objects. Students examine what features of objects determine whether they are attracted to a magnet. They record their...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Introduction to Magnets
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...

Magnetism
In this physics instructional activity, students fill in 14 blanks involving the Domain Theory of Magnetism. Students interact with a variety of aspects dealing with magnets.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Magnets
What a great way to have your second graders explore magnetism! Learners conduct an experiment in which they identify objects attracted to magnets. Then, they create a presentation in which they display objects involving magnets.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
The Power of Magnets
Young scientists view this interactive slide show which teaches them about magnetism. Students test a variety of objects such as: a pencil, paper clip, penny, marble, and yarn to see if they can make a magnet move. Students see that the...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Magnetic Fields
A young boy, "Science Ben," smiles and follows the directions of the narrator as he traces the path of a magnetic field with a magnet. This is a demonstrative video that helps young physical scientists visualize the magnetic field. Show...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
What is the Magnetic Field?
Not only does the Tabletop Explainer reveal a magnetic field with iron filings, he also uses diagrams to explain rules for drawing one. He concludes with a couple of "What Do You Think?" questions to encourage deeper thinking. Have your...
