Teach your KS2 class about magnets with these three ready-to-teach Science lessons. In the first lesson, your class will be introduced to magnets, and learn how they can exert a force on certain objects without touching them. They will explore the different forces a magnetic field can exert, depending on which poles are facing each other. In the second lesson, children discuss and predict what other materials could be attracted to or repelled by magnets. They will test and record the results for a variety of objects made from different materials, and conclude what these materials have in common. In the third lesson, your class will focus on the uses of magnets, and conduct an investigation into magnet strength.
Each of these Magnets KS2 Science lessons include:
- a detailed lesson plan with differentiated activities
- a slideshow for the teaching input
- a range of printable resources for independent learning activities
