Lesson One – Sorting Materials
This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify, describe and record the effects of magnetism on a range of different materials to use when defining their individual properties.
The class can select and make lists of different materials that have been used on a range of objects found in the classroom that can be classified as either magnetic or non-magnetic.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify, describe and record the effects of magnetism on a range of different materials to use when defining their individual properties
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe the properties of different materials to show whether they are magnetic or non-magnetic and a worksheet template to select and record magnetic and non-magnetic materials that can be found around the classroom.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record the effects of magnetism on a range of different materials to define their matching properties.
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.
