Electricity and Magnetism: Are They Related?
Students explore electricity and magnetism. Through the use of role play, students simulate being a scientist. Experiments are performed during the simulation to discover the relationship between electric current and magnetism. After...
Curated OER
Magnetism
Students study magnetism. In this science lesson, students participate in an activity to discover how electrons in a magnet move. Students identify items around the classroom that are magnetic.
Curated OER
The Earth's Magnetic Field
Students explain how the earth's magnetic field works and looks. They create
their own free-floating compass using the everyday materials. After constructing their compass, they test it and determine north.
Curated OER
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
Current Thinking About Magnets
Students construct their own magnet and wire device. In this inquiry lesson, students investigate the factors affecting the strength of magnetic forces. They manipulate different variable to determine their effect.
Curated OER
Magnetic Discovery Bottle
Students investigate the properties of magnets. In this physical science lesson plan, students will go through a short 5E lesson that allows the students to study magnet materials and predict what will and will not be attracted to a...
Curated OER
MAP MAGNETIC FIELD OF A ROOM
Students map the magnetic field of a room (classroom or room at home -- recommend kitchen) at two or more heights. They create a coordinate grid within the room and make a relatively accurate map of the room to super impose the...
Curated OER
Clothespin Magnets
Students decorate letter, clothespin magnets using basic art supplies in this Art lesson for the elementary classroom. Teacher preparation should include cutting out letter shapes for each student and connecting clothespins prior to the...
Curated OER
Exploring Magnetism
Ninth graders explore magnetism and complete several worksheets. In this magnetism lesson students complete several activities on magnetism and aluminum cans.
Curated OER
Magnets and Springs
Students participate in an online lesson making and recording observations of magnets. They determine that magnets attract some metals but not others and that other materials are not attracted to magnets.
Curated OER
Magnetic Mapping
Students draw arrows to show the direction the compass needle is pointing when it is placed around different points of a penny and a bar magnet. Students must then answer questions about the activity on a provided worksheet.
Curated OER
Magnetism And Electricity
Students investigate the concept of electricity and how to build a circuit. They identify the presence of heat, light, sound, and the magnetic effects. Students construct the circuit and draw a diagram that gives directions for its...

Ampere's Law
Help your class find the the magnetic field of a toroid, a solenoid bent into a circle with an activity that allows the class to see how a loop of wire carrying an electrical charge behaves much like a magnet. The resource provides the...
Science Matters
Electromagnets
Classes are sure to get all wrapped up in an attractive lesson! Young scientists learn how to combine electricity and magnetism as they create electromagnets. They create their own electromagnets and collect data on their strength as...

Magnets 2: How Strong is Your Magnet?
Learners experimentally measure the strength of a magnet and graph how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases, and as the barrier (masking tape) is built between the magnet and an iron object.
Curated OER
Marvelous World Of Magnets
Young scholars research the concept of magnetism in order to increase understanding of the subject. By accessing information they could explain the concept with a written report used as an end product for assessment.
Curated OER
Pop Art Pins & Magnets
Young scholars examine cereal and snack boxes and then create magnets and/or pins using the Pop Art demonstrated in these pieces. This multi-level lesson emphasizes the differences between commercial art examples and fine art examples.
Curated OER
What is the Attraction?
Second graders investigate the law of polarity. In this magnets instructional activity, 2nd graders discover how magnets are used in everyday life and which objects in our environment are magnetic. Students experiment with bar magnets...
Teach Engineering
Electromagnets
Show your class what goes on with a magnet that can be turned on and off with a resource that provides the information needed to build an electromagnet. The information allows the class to understand that creating loops with the current...
Curated OER
Magnetic Pick-ups
Students gain an understanding that certain materials are attracted to magnets and some are not.
Curated OER
How Strong is Your Magnet?
Students measure the strength of a magnet and graph how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases.
Curated OER
The Magnetometer
Students build an instrument. In this magnetism lesson, students learn about the north and south poles of magnets and build a magnetometer that detects the direction of a magnetic field.
Curated OER
Terrabagga Activity using a Magnetometer
Learners use a magnetometer to determine the orientation of a magnetic field. In this magnetism instructional activity, students build a simulated planet and use a simple magnetometer to determine the orientation of their planet's...
