• Predict whether 2 magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing.
• Science, Year 3, Forces & Magnets
• Notice that some forces need contact between 2 objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance.
• Science, Year 3, Forces & Magnets
• Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials.
• Science, Year 3, Forces & Magnets
• Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others.
• Explore the fascinating world of magnetism with this comprehensive activity kit.
• Includes a teaching booklet with magnetic experiments and worksheets to engage children in learning about magnetism.
• Engage with the wonders of magnetism through this kit, designed to foster exploration with a variety of magnets and accessories. This kit offers large and small horseshoe magnets, magnetic marbles, ring magnets, and other tools, enabling children to delve into experiments that reveal magnetic forces, materials, and fields. The kit promotes hands-on engagement, making complex scientific concepts more approachable and stimulating.
Contents may vary.
• Accompanying teaching materials provide structured experiment ideas, mapped to Key Stage 2 curriculum goals focused on forces and magnets. These activities encourage curiosity, bolster critical thinking, and build observational skills.
