Magnets
Second graders classify objects and create hypotheses regarding their magnetic properties. They watch a video about magnets and finally use a magnet to test their hypotheses created earlier.
Curated OER
Magnets---Polarity
Students identify and describe the poles of a magnet. They demonstrate how the poles interact with one another.

Creating Magnetic Forces
Learners discover magnetic forces. In this magnetic experiment instructional activity, students explore magnetism. Learners conduct experiments and discover magnetic poles and magnetic strength.
Curated OER
Magnets
Learners explore how the earth is a magnet and that magnets have two "poles". In this magnetic lesson students complete an activity by designing their own compass.
