Lesson Three – Strongest Magnet
This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate, explain and record the strength of different shaped magnets on a range of different materials to define their individual properties.
The class can plan and conduct a fair test to explore and measure the strength of a range of different types of magnets such as bar and horseshoe examples.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate, explain and record the strength of different shaped magnets on a range of different materials to define their individual properties
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe different types of magnets that can exert a magnetic force and a template to plan and record the results of an investigation into the strongest magnet acting on a range of materials.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore the strength of different shaped magnets on a range of different materials.
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.
