Through Which Materials Do Magnets Work?

In this magnets worksheet, students will test different objects to see if they are attracted to the magnet or not. Students will then write in that object under the magnetic column or nonmagnetic column based on their results.

Second graders experiment with and explore magnets. They manipulate them to see how they react with other magnets and with other objects. They experiment to see how magnets work through different thicknesses of objects (paper,...

Teach young engineers that all machines, no matter how complicated or complex, are made up of just six simple devices with this hands-on physical science lesson. Using the included templates, students first create paper models of...

Why do some materials feel cool to the touch, but not others? Learn about thermal conductors and thermal insulators with a fun science experiment. First, kids read the results of an experiment with spoons and hot water. They then try...

Magnets are a source of amazement for young learners. It seems like magic the way they can attract certain things. This worksheet gives some background on which materials can be attracted to a magnet. Then, learners must circle the words...

How can you tell if something is made out of wood, metal, or plastic? Kids use noise and visual cues to determine what various household items are made from. They then examine their toys at home and record the materials used to make...

A nicely-designed presentation on simple machines is here for you. In it, young scientists are introduced to some simple machines, and the laws of physics behind them. Pupils learn about work, force, gravity, and friction. The slides...

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...

Explore the relationship between electricity and magnetism with this fun science investigation. Working in small groups, young scientists attach magnets to toy cars and race them down ramps through coils of wire in order to measure the...

Learners explore magnetic force with a variety of materials. In this magnets lesson, students work in groups to determine if a magnet will attract a paper clip through various materials. Predictions are made and results are recorded and...
