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

Young scholars are introduced to the concepts of latitude and longitude. In groups, they identify the Earth's magnetic field and the disadvantages of using compasses for navigation. They identify the major lines of latitude and longitude...

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.

One way to identify possible volcanic activity on other planets is by testing the planet for magnetism. A science lesson begins with pupils constructing their own planet from a dead battery, magnets, paper, and tape before labeling...

Earth's magnetic poles switch positions about every 200,000—300,000 years. In the activity, groups create a planet with a magnetic field. Once made, they use a magnetometer to determine the orientation of the planet's magnetic field....

Students explore and define electromagnets. In this electromagnet lesson, students access an assigned web site to research what an electromagnet is and how it works. They complete a database with information from the web site and...

Sixth graders build a speaker as they investigate the roles of electricity and magnetism. They discover the properties of magnets, create an electromagnet, and determine the direction of a magnetic field. They show cause and effect...

Students use video learning and construct electromagnets and use them to collect data, graph, and share with others.

Students investigate items that interrupt magnetic fields. In this physics lesson, students explain why the paper clip in the experiment seems to fly. They write a detailed explanation of what they did in this activity.

Students present what they have learned on Antartica. Students identify deciduous and evergreen trees and plants; identify and study about the habitats of animals that migrate, hibernate, and adapt; study the Aurora and Aurora Borealis...

In this electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction worksheet, students answer 11 questions using calculus to determine things such as magnetic flux and wave output.

In this Earth's magnetic poles activity, students read about the changes observed in Earth's magnetic field and the possible geomagnetic reversal of the north and south magnetic poles. Students answer 5 questions about the reading and...

In this magnets worksheet, learners explain how they would determine the north and south poles of a magnet. This worksheet has 3 short essay questions.

Third graders solve a cryptogram by decoding a message written with wingdings.  In this decoding lesson, 3rd graders solve a message related to magnetism.  Students have notes about magnets once they've finished.

Students conduct a series of experiments on magnetorheological fluids. In this physics lesson, students explain how these fluids behave in varying magnetic field strength. They give practical applications of magnetorheological fluids.

In this satellite synchrony activity, students use a spreadsheet or Least Common Multiples to solve 4 problems related to the satellite orbits, orbital periods and their synchronicity. Students determine when the satellites launched in...

In this electricity worksheet, students learn about magnetic induction plus compare a generator with a motor. Students also review the different kinds of energy and the formulas associated with energy. This worksheet has 28 matching, 10...

High schoolers observe demonstrations of exothermic and endothermic reactions and determine the changes that take place in a chemical reaction. Students observe four demonstrations showing entropy, attraction of molecules due to...

In this electricity worksheet, students read about electric charge, ionic notation, and conductors and insulators. Then students complete 19 matching, 6 fill in the blank, and 2 short answer questions.

Young scientists build their own electromagnet and test it by picking up paperclips. Analysis questions evaluate knowledge at the end of the activity. 

Where can you see an aurora in North America? After completing an astronomy activity, scholars can locate the exact coordinates. Pupils plot points of the inner and outer ring of the auroral oval and answer questions based on...

Historically, humans have used many methods of finding due north. Using a hands-on activity, learners create their own compasses. They then test their compasses in their neighborhood or to assist with stargazing.

Ninth graders investigate ionic bonding through energy level diagrams. In this ion bonding lesson plan, 9th graders observe demonstrations to show energy level diagrams using magnets to represent the subatomic particles. Students fill...
