Experimenting with Magnets
Fifth graders complete four different experiments in classroom stations to investigate how magnets attract and repel.
Curated OER
Applied Science Physics Pre Lab
Students explore physics. In this magnetism lesson plan, students attempt to make a magnet out of a iron rod. They observe the teacher complete the procedure first and then try it themselves.
Curated OER
Through Which Materials Do Magnets Work?
In this magnets activity, students will experiment to see what materials attract or repel from magnets. Students will fill in the blank of 3 statements.

Magnets
Second graders participate in a teacher demonstration of the polarity of magnets. They observe how magnets repel and attract items before drawing their observations on worksheets. They manipulate the donut magnets, discuss their action...
Curated OER
Electricity/Magnetism
Fourth graders explore magnets as fundamental parts of generators and how they are used to produce current electricity. They distinguish between the north and south pole of magnets and the difference between repel and attract. Students...

Teaching About Magnets in Kindergarten
Students explore magnets through the five lessons of this unit. The everyday uses of magnets and an awareness of magnetic attraction form the basis of the skills presented in these lessons.
Curated OER
Exploring Magnetic Fields
Learners develop the concept that magnets attract and repel items and exert a magnetic field that can vary in strength.
Curated OER
Electromagnet
In this electromagnet worksheet, students will complete a graphic organizer by writing in the definition and 6 uses of electromagnetism.
Curated OER
How to Be "Naturally Attractive" (Without Even Trying)
Students examine the various properties of magnets, explain how a compass works and make an electromagnet. They also experiment with magnetic lines-of-force using paper and iron filings.
