Fourth graders investigate magnetism and the magnetic force.

Students 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.

Young scholars develop the concept that magnets attract and repel items and exert a magnetic field that can vary in strength.

Students explore the relationship between a current in a coil and the magnetic field.  In this physics lesson students complete a lab activity using a magnet and batteries. 

Students explain why some objects attract and some do not. In this physics lesson, students investigate the magnetic properties of objects using CEENBoT. They give some important applications of magnets.

Students experiment on magnets and electricity. In this physics activity, students determine what factors affect the strength of a magnetic field. They design an experiment to determine how electromagnetic field strength varies with...

Students give examples of electromagnet applications. For this physics lesson, students explore what makes electromagnets work. They experiment picking paper clips with it.

Students simulate how charged particles move in a particle detector. In this physics lesson, students observe how iron filings behave when magnetic marbles are passed underneath them. They record and draw their observations.

Eighth graders study magnetism.  In this solar wind activity students complete several activities on space and weather.

Second graders conduct simple experiments , observe and explain what they discovered.  In this simple experiments lesson students design a magnet and make a compass. 

First graders examine the magnets.  In this physics lesson students complete a lab and worksheet on the numbers of fish. 

Students study the concept of magnetic and electric field.  For this magnetic lesson students participate in a lab using magnets.

Learners explore several activities that allow them to gain a better understanding of magnetism.  In this investigative lesson plan students are given an activity by a teacher that has to do with magnetism. 

Learners use the Launchball computer site to complete a game for magnetic pennies. In this magnetism lesson, students visit the given link to discover the properties of magnetism using magnets and pennies.

In this magnet testing worksheet, learners study the pictures and circle the objects that are attracted to magnets. Students write 4 objects in their classroom that are attracted to magnets and 4 that are not.

In this magnet experiment worksheet, learners complete a magnet experiment by following the 7 steps. Students fill in the table for the 10 objects they test.

In this magnet experiment worksheet, learners complete a magnetic experiment to learn about the properties of a magnet. Students learn about the physics of magnets.

In this magnet experiment activity, students complete a magnetic experiment and answer the 5 questions about the experiment. Students learn about the physics of magnets.

In this sunspots activity, students observe two images taken by a solar observatory over a certain amount of time. Students determine the changes in the pictures and then calculate how fast and in what direction the particles are moving....

Students learn about magnets and how they are formed and used. For this magnet lesson, students investigate the properties of magnets and how engineers use magnets in technology. They specifically learn about memory storage.

In this magnets activity, students describe the differences between a generator and a motor, define electromagnet, and identify a circuit as parallel or series. This activity has 2 short answer questions, 5 fill in the blank and 18...

Second graders create a hypothesis on what objects will attract to magnets. In this magnets lesson plan, 2nd graders use a computer program to create a hypothesis as to what will attract or unattract magnets. For an extension, they test...

In this magnetism worksheet, students study each image and circle the items that a magnet will attract. Students then complete a prediction and result chart for items a magnet will attract. Students list five more items from their home...

In this electromagnet worksheet, students will complete a graphic organizer by writing in the definition and 6 uses of electromagnetism.
