Includes both print and digital Google Slides options to assign.
In this activity, students will:
- READ the article Magnets and Magnetic Fields.
- ANSWER text-dependent questions. No prior knowledge is required. All the information needed to answer the questions comes from the text!
Topics Included:
- What a magnet is and how they work
- Different types of magnets (permanent, temporary, electromagnet)
- Opposite poles attract each other; same poles repel
- Magnetic fields and magnetic field lines
- Magnetic and non-magnetic materials
- Factors that affect magnetic strength (distance, size of magnet, material)
- Real-world applications (compass needles, junkyard cranes)
Teacher Notes:
- Includes a digital Google Slides option to assign. A link to make a digital copy is included in the downloadable PDF.
- Includes an answer key.
- Please note that this magnetic force reading is not editable.

Related Standards:
-
- NGSS MS-PS2-3: Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.
- NGSS MS-PS2-5: Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.
