The earth has a giant magnetic field caused by the liquid iron that constantly moves in the outer core. Scholars explore the magnetic fields of four different planets. The strength and alignment of the poles relates to the implications...

In this magnetic and non-magnetic worksheet, students experiment with objects to determine if they are magnetic or not and record their findings on the T-Chart. Students write an undetermined number of short answers.

In this electricity and magnetism worksheet, students will complete a Venn diagram by writing in facts about electricity, facts about magnetism, and facts that both share.

Attracted class members to an activity-packed journey through the science behind the invisible forces at work all around us. From jump rope generators to junkyard wars, there's never a dull moment when eighth grade physics scholars...

Opposites attract with a fun science experiment on magnets. With a short paragraph on background knowledge, the lab sheet prompts third and fourth graders to choose which pairs of magnets will attract, and which pairs will repel. A...

An MRI uses both a magnetic and electricity, so how do the two interact with each other? Class members observe the effects on a charged particle when it is subject to both an electrical and magnetic field. The teacher background...

Third graders are challenged to use scientific thinking, they experiment and observe which objects are attracted to a magnet. Pupils use the evidence to construct an explanation as to what common property the objects attracted to a...

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...

Emerging electricians build a simple ammeter for making measurements on an electric current. They test the placement of solar cells in both series and parallel circuits and examine the magnetic field produced by the movement of electrons...

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

In this magnetic circuits worksheet, students answer 16 questions about magnetic flux, resistance, voltage, current, and reluctance.

Students write journal entries where they analyze potential safety dangers of an MRI machine. In this MRI lesson plan, students pretend that they are safety engineers, and produce a pamphlet of all of their findings.

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...

Levitation tricks have been documented from the early 1900s, so how do they do it? Scholars learn about the force of magnetism in an attractive resource. They watch videos and design experiments to understand the strength and...

Young scholars complete a series of experiments using magnets. In this physical science and magnetism instructional activity, students first predict and test the magnetic properties of various objects, then young scholars determine if...

Fourth graders investigate the poles of a magnet.  In this magnet activity, 4th graders explore what a magnet attracts and what it repels. Students view the N and S on magnets. students recognize that like poles repel and opposite...

Students investigate magnetic permeability and saturation. In this physics lesson, students explain how current carrying wire coils create magnetic forces. They interpret normal magnetization curves.

Students discuss the history and importance of magnets to the world. In this magnetism lesson, students write an essay of a world without magnets.  Students may research addition information to add details about uses of magnets.

Young scholars investigate the properties of magnets. In this magnetism instructional activity, students construct a magnetic crane and observe the attraction of metal objects.

Fifth graders compare and contrast the patterns that they create using iron fillings and different types of magnets.

In this magnetic storms learning exercise, students use a graph of data collected over time showing the magnitude of a magnetic storm. Students use the data to solve 6 problems about the graph and they determine the strength of the storm...

For this magnetic reconnection worksheet, students solve seven problems using the data and graphs from the THEMIS satellite constellations, which show a series of events triggered by a magnetic reconnection. Students interpret the data...

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

In 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...
