Activities in this teaching pack include an assessment test to assess understanding of forces and magnets complete with a marking scheme and matching record sheet and a worksheet to help the children assess their own progress for the National Curriculum programmes of study about conducting fair tests to identify and compare different materials based on magnetism and friction.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to practise conducting a range of fair tests to identify and compare different materials based on magnetism and friction that can occur between surfaces. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
