Pupils look at a range of materials and predict whether or not they are attracted to magnets. Pupils then use a magnet to investigate their predictions.
Learning Objectives:
PoS - compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials
NaG - sort materials into those that are magnetic and those that are not
WS - set up simple practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests using straightforward scientific evidence to answer questions or to support findings;
