A Magnetic Personality

Everyone loves playing with magnets and iron filings. Here, young scientists first observe and then participate in an activity demonstrating magnetic fields. After completing their observations, they apply this knowledge to...

Give your class a magnetic charge with this creative experiment designed to teach emerging scientists about electromagnetism. Pupils construct a model that demonstrates the function of an electrical generator and test this creation in a...

In this magnets instructional activity, students read for information, observe diagrams, and experiment. In this identifying the correct answer and T-Chart instructional activity, students answer nine questions.

Here is a very good lesson on magnets, magnetism, and magnitic fields that is chock full of great activities for you to implement with your young scientists. Learners discover the properties of magnets, look at the forces of attraction...

Elementary magnetologists investigate magnetic shields using a variety of materials in a "shielding sandwich." While the activity isn't novel, it is engaging, and this particular resource includes a brief explanation of the phenomena...

Take foldables to all new heights. Pupils build and fly different types of paper airplanes in the 14th portion of a 22-part unit on aviation. Groups collect data on distance and flight time for each plane and compare the data from the...

Students discover magnetic forces. In this magnetic experiment lesson, students explore magnetism. Students conduct experiments and discover magnetic poles and magnetic strength.

Students explore magnets and magnetic Fields. They experiment with various objects to determine which will be attracted to the magnet. Their results are recorded in a scientific method worksheet.

Students make a compass.  In this magnetism lesson, students use the Internet to research magnetic fields and perform an experiment to find the magnetic fields around different magnets.  Students use the Internet to research compasses,...

Students investigate the push and pull of magnets. In this magnetics instructional activity, students are introduced to the idea that there are forces that happen on earth which cannot be seen, such as electrically charged objects,...
