Serc: Exploring Magnetism: Investigating the Forces of Magnets
Students describe and create an experiment to prove that like poles of magnets repel each other while opposite poles attract. Using the experiment, they use the data to support the claim that the repelling force is stronger than the...

Serc: Investigating Magnetism: What Are Magnets and Why Do They Attract or Repel
In this magnetism activity, learners investigate why magnets attract certain objects and how the magnets can attract or repel each other by participating in a classroom activity. Students will observe, question, and investigate how the...

Serc: Mother Nature's Funnest Play Things: Magnets
For this experiment, students will investigate magnets and how they work. They will understand that two like poles "repel" while opposite poles "attract." They will also observe how a natural force is created by two magnets and answer...
