Lesson Six – Magnetic Games
This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to design and build a game involving magnets to explain and illustrate scientific concepts related to magnetic force and how magnets work on different materials.
The class can demonstrate how magnets can work through different materials to move something as part of a game such as a car moving down a race track.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to design and build a game involving magnets to explain and illustrate scientific concepts related to magnetic force and how magnets work on different materials
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and explain some true and false facts about how magnets work and a set of worksheets to plan and build games to prove and illustrate different concepts about magnetic force acting on a range of materials.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to build a game to explain and illustrate scientific concepts of magnets.
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.
