People have grabbed them in traffic, at events, at locations where people leave magnets behind (bars, Even the clasps are magnetic? The videos suggest so. I would worry that if I dropped this bag the the magnets could be pulled apart by force and then everything will come flying out where as a zip at least is a physically bound together structure.

Estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute. Record and compare time in terms of seconds and minutes. How brilliant is this? Kids can easily borrow a pencil when they need one, but the magnetic clip attached makes them much more likely to remember to return it. Genius. Mr_Persona I agree! Plus, aren't magnets potentially damaging to electronics? I keep magnets as far away from my stuff as possible! Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the amount of force needed to move a toy vehicle on different surfaces making choices about whether to measure push or pull and how to keep it fair. Magnet Maze Game (via Cakies) This inventive game takes a few basic materials like a paper plates and turns them into engaging games. See how long it’ll take for the rabbit to find the carrots!

Matching Magnet Game (via Dream A Little Bigger) This cute free printable comes with instructions and quirky characters to make up a fun matching game – with a magnetic twist! Magnetism is one of the most interesting practical applications of science that you can teach to young children. Not only are magnets a great way to introduce young children to the wonders of science, as they seemingly have the ability to make metal objects move on their own and defy gravity, but it is also a great way to involve simple and safe practical activities in your class that will delight children in Key Stage 1. These forces are strongest at the ends of the magnets. The two ends of a magnet are known as the north pole and the south pole. Same poles repel Test your knowledge of magnetic forces. Design a poster to explain the science behind your game or activity. Stage it in an attractive eye catching way. The above video may be from a third-party source. We accept no responsibility for any videos from third-party sources. Please let us know if the video is no longer working.

Ask questions and then investigate how toy vehicles run on different surfaces. Begin to explain in terms of forces. i) Predict whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing.You can use these resources to base a lesson around the concept of magnetism and treat your class to a fun, interesting and informative lesson, and all you need is a magnet, a small metal object and one or more of these professionally-made resources from Twinkl. Each resource has been specially made to be suitable for all students in the KS1 age range. A wide range of different magnets including: wand, bar, compass, ring and pole, horseshoe, super and marbles First on technical matters and then, isn’t “sir” the title of a knight? Has Dr_g, aka Science Girl, risen to the level of awesomeness- in line with her towering intellect, adorbs bangs, and endless humility- to finally become a pegasus knight like Sumia and Caeda! Yeehee i wana horsey! Play a game to revise and reinforce knowledge of how magnets attract and repel depending on which poles are facing.

Magnets offer endless fascination to kids and endless opportunities for learning. These magnet activities and ideas will help encourage creativity, teach kids science concepts, and much more. They may even help organize the classroom or home if you’re doing distance learning! (Note: Use care with smaller magnets and magnetized objects, as ingesting them can be dangerous. Younger kids should always be supervised with magnets.)

recording data and using it to create a bar graph of the amount of force needed to pull different weights. Use results to draw simple conclusions, make predictions for new values, suggest improvements and raise further questions. Following the shortest player, each player lays one of their magnets in the play area, without letting the magnets KLUSTER together! Very good service, prompt delivery and great product, the Octopus kite. An immediate hit with granddaughters aged 8 and 11. Easily launched the kite despite bad weather and little wind. ...
