Instructional Ideas

  • Let pupils explore magnets and create their own
  • Use the presentation template to teach the lesson; save the video for absent students or for a substitute teacher

Classroom Considerations

  • Best fits as an introduction to magnets and electromagnets

Pros

  • Includes seven review worksheets to help pupils retain information from the lesson, as well as an instructional video

Cons

  • Narrator recorded the audio track at a loud sporting event, so there is a lot of background noise which is distracting
