Students investigate magnets. In this magnetism instructional activity, students begin exploring magnets. Students study attraction and repulsion and discover the poles of a magnet.

Students brainstorm background knowledge and any questions they may have about magnetic fields. They investigate the role that William Gilbert had in laying the groundwork for modern experimental science. Students observe magnetic fields...

In this magnetism worksheet, students review what magnetism is by matching 5 words to their definitions. Then students use a diagram showing the pattern of iron fillings around magnets to complete 4 short answer questions.

Students explore the science of magnets and how magnets work. They conduct a series of fun experiments and magnetize objects and demonstrate how magnetism operates right through other materials.

Students explain how magnets can be used to make some things move without being touched. They explore that electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects. They create an electronic poster about magnet with...

Students explore electricity and magnetism. Through the use of role play, students simulate being a scientist. Experiments are performed during the simulation to discover the relationship between electric current and magnetism. After...

In this magnetism terminology worksheet, learners review, study and discuss fourteen key terms associated with magnets and then locate and circle each key term within a word search puzzle.

Students study magnetism. In this science instructional activity, students participate in an activity to discover how electrons in a magnet move. Students identify items around the classroom that are magnetic.

Students explain how the earth's magnetic field works and looks. They create their own free-floating compass using the everyday materials. After constructing their compass, they test it and determine north.

Second graders participate in a teacher demonstration of the polarity of magnets. They observe how magnets repel and attract items before drawing their observations on worksheets. They manipulate the donut magnets, discuss their action...

In this magnets worksheet, students will experiment to see what materials attract or repel from magnets. Students will fill in the blank of 3 statements.

In this science activity, students test objects to see if they are magnetic. They record the results in a table by naming the object, telling what it is made of, predicting if it will be magnetic, and recording if it is magnetic.

In this magnetic insulators worksheet, students use magnets, a compass, paper and more to observe magnetic force. Students then answer 3 questions.

In this magnets worksheet, students draw pictures of different magnets that are described on each page. Students complete 9 pictures.

Students construct their own magnet and wire device. In this inquiry instructional activity, students investigate the factors affecting the strength of magnetic forces. They manipulate different variable to determine their effect.

In this scientific investigation learning exercise, students follow the provided procedures to examine positive and negative charges of magnets and then respond to 3 short answer question.

In this online interactive science worksheet, students respond to 3 multiple choice questions about magnetism and its functions.

Students investigate the properties of magnets. In this physical science lesson plan, students will go through a short 5E instructional activity that allows the students to study magnet materials and predict what will and will not...

Students map the magnetic field of a room (classroom or room at home -- recommend kitchen) at two or more heights. They create a coordinate grid within the room and make a relatively accurate map of the room to super impose the...

Learners decorate letter, clothespin magnets using basic art supplies in this Art activity for the elementary classroom. Teacher preparation should include cutting out letter shapes for each student and connecting clothespins prior to...

Students participate in an online lesson making and recording observations of magnets. They determine that magnets attract some metals but not others and that other materials are not attracted to magnets.

Ninth graders explore magnetism and complete several worksheets.  In this magnetism activity students complete several activities on magnetism and aluminum cans.

Learners draw arrows to show the direction the compass needle is pointing when it is placed around different points of a penny and a bar magnet. Students must then answer questions about the activity on a provided worksheet.

Students investigate the concept of electricity and how to build a circuit. They identify the presence of heat, light, sound, and the magnetic effects. Students construct the circuit and draw a diagram that gives directions for its...
