Lesson Four – Magnetic Poles
This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore and record how north and south magnetic poles can produce both attraction and repelling forces when acting against each other.
The class can identify and explain the effects about what can happens when placing north and south magnetic poles together to create attracting and opposing forces.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore and record how north and south magnetic poles can produce both attraction and repelling forces when acting against each other
Activities in this teaching pack include a table display card to investigate north and south magnetic poles that can be found on a magnet and a worksheet to observe and record the effects of the north and south magnetic poles that can attract and repel magnets.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record how north and south magnetic poles can produce both attraction and repelling forces.
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.
