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
Magnets and Interactions
Second graders discover what magnets can do. In this magnet lesson students make predictions about magnets. They experiment with the magnets and record their data on a chart.
Curated OER
Applied Science Physics Pre Lab
Students explore physics. In this magnetism lesson, students attempt to make a magnet out of a iron rod. They observe the teacher complete the procedure first and then try it themselves.

Measuring Magnetic Field Strengths Using Ferrofluids
Students explore the field of nanotechnology by examining magnetic field strength in ferrofluids. They use probes attached to a computer program to determine the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic field lines.
Curated OER
Magnet Mania
Students explore magnetic fields. For this science lesson, students create a magnetic field using electricity. Students observe the effect of a magnetic field on the compass needle.
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.
Alabama Learning Exchange
Magnet Mania
Students explain how magnets can be used to make some things move without being touched. They explore that electricity in circuits can produce light, heat, sound, and magnetic effects. They create an electronic poster about magnet with...
Curated OER
MAGNETS
Students identify magnetism and describe its meaning. Students discuss different types of magnets and list various ways magnets can be used. Students record observations of each magnet, like and different, and whether one has a larger...
Curated OER
Magnetic Experiment
Third graders experiment with magnets. In this magnet experiment lesson, 3rd graders explore magnetic attraction and repulsion. Students rotate through four stations and investigate the properties of magnets.
Curated OER
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
Magnets
Students explore the concept of magnetism. In this magnetism instructional activity, students use bar magnets to conduct experiments regarding magnetism. Students also use a magnetic compasses to examine magnetic poles.
Curated OER
Magnetism and the Magnetic Force
Fourth graders investigate magnetism and the magnetic force.
Curated OER
5E Magnets
Fourth graders, when working with magnets, make a prediction about what will happen if you put two ring magnets on an upright pencil, with 100% accuracy. They also experiment with magnets on poles to see which one pushes the other one away.
Curated OER
Magnets-The Quicker Picker Upper
Second graders research the design of and purpose of magnets. They investigate a group of objects to discover which things are attracted to magnets. Observe the effect that lodestone has on iron fillings. Summarize observations.
Curated OER
Magnets, Electromagnets and Field of Forces
Students investigate magnetic forces. In this electromagnetic instructional activity, students explore magnetic forces, magnetic fields, and the movement of current through a variety of activities.

Naturally Magnetic Elements
Young scholars explore naturally magnetic elements. In this magnets lesson plan, students examine the periodic table of elements. Young scholars discover the parts of an atom and determine which three elements are magnetic.
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
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
Students investigate magnets. For this magnetism lesson, students begin exploring magnets. Students study attraction and repulsion and discover the poles of a magnet.
