Lesson List

Experiment 1 - Magnetic Attraction Explore and determine what materials are attracted to magnets

Experiment 2 - Flying the Butterfly - Observing Magnetic Fields Students explore magnetic fields and find than objects do not have to touch a magnet to be attracted to it.

Experiment 3 - Observing Magnetic Field Lines Students will explore magnetic fields and observe magnetic field lines.

Experiment 4 - Magnetic Poles Students find out how magnetic poles attract or repel each other.

Experiment 5 - Magnetic Poles and Field Lines Observe how the field lines as magnetic poles interact with each other.

Experiment 6 - Barriers and Magnetic Field Lines Observe how different barriers effect magnetic field lines and how magnets attract objects

Experiment 7 - Identifying Magnetic Poles Students determine the north and south poles of the 'mystery' magnet

Experiment 8 - Identifying the North Pole of a magnetic compass Students will identify and label the north and south poles of a magnetic compass

Experiment 9 - What effects magnetic compasses? Students will find out what materials change the direction a magnetic compass might point.

Experiment 10 - Making a magnet Students will change a metal rod into magnet

Experiment 11 - Making a historical magnetic compass. Students will learn how to then make a historical magnetic compass

Experiment 12 - Making a simple magnetic compass. Students will learn how to then make a simple magnetic compass

Experiment 13 - Levitating Magnets Students will make a magnet levitate over another and learn the basis of magnetic levitating trains.

Experiment 14 - Collecting Iron Filings Students will use a magnet to collect iron particles from sand or soil.
