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 physics worksheet, students identify and write the correct word for each description related to magnets. There are 12 descriptions to complete.

In this physics instructional activity, students complete each of the statements with the correct word or phrase. Then they match each of the words listed on the left with their correct descriptions on the right.

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.

Second graders classify objects and formulate hypotheses regarding various materials and their magnetic properties. They complete a worksheet and watch a video.

Pupils discover that sunspots are the result of intense magnetic forces on the photosphere of the sun by observing images from the SOHO satellite.

Third graders experiment with magnetic force and magnetic fields. They examine how magnetic forces can act through a distance.

In this magnets worksheet, students describe the differences between a generator and a motor, define electromagnet, and identify a circuit as parallel or series. This worksheet has 2 short answer questions, 5 fill in the blank and 18...

This student page lists several steps in teaching observation with an oscilloscope and bar magnets. The students can compare bar magnets with circular magnets on a particle beam . Students will learn more about focusing beams in particle...

Pupils explore the properties of the N and S poles on a magnet. They attach small bar magnets to the top of "match box" cars and attempt to crash them into each other. They each write a summary describing their findings.

Learners determine the physical properties of magnets. They analyze the size, number of poles and strength of the magnets. They make observations of what happens to magnets when they are placed next to each other.

First graders examine the magnets.  In this physics instructional activity students complete a lab and worksheet on the numbers of fish. 

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...

In this math activity, learners reinforce addition and subtraction facts 0 to 12 by collaborating in a fishing game. Students fish for numbers with a magnet and create a math sentence, flipping a coin to determine the operation used....

Students, in groups, study how a magnet works and how people use the Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves.

Students demonstrate how to take bearings using a compass. In pairs, they select objects in the classroom then write down its first initial and bearing. They exchange papers and try to disciver their partner's object.

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.

Young scholars explore magnetism. In this magnet activity, students assemble a magnet pendulum. Young scholars observe the pendulum noting the location of the magnetic poles as they construct the pendulum so that the free-swinging magnet...

Students explore physics. In this magnetism lesson, students attempt to make a magnet out of a iron rod. They observe the teacher complete the procedure first and then try it themselves.

In this detecting disease worksheet, students will review the different tools scientists use to identify diseases including the steps of Koch's postulates. This worksheet has 14 fill in the blank and 4 short answer questions.
