Charge Interactions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Charge Interactions interactive also includes:
  • About Concept Builders
  • Charge Interactions
  • Teacher Notes
  • Questions
  • Join to access all included materials

Has your class been repelled by your previous magnetism lesson plan? Try a fun interactive instead! The activity, part of the Static Electricity series, challenges scholars to infer the charges of a group of magnets based upon their interaction with one another. Three levels of questioning help you determine their level of understanding with ease.

Instructional Ideas

  • Add the activity to a chemistry or physics lesson to reinforce the concepts of charge and attraction
  • Give learners magnets with positive and negative poles and have them recreate each question as they work through the interactive

Classroom Considerations

  • Students should have some knowledge of magnetism

Pros

  • The resource allows users to select their answers as they work through each problem, which is helpful for beginners getting used to working with charges
  • Teacher materials make planning fast and easy

Cons

  • None
