This magnetism CER activity reviews and reinforces magnetic forces and magnetic fields as students practice data analysis and make claims from evidence!
⭐ Get this at a HUGE DISCOUNT in my COMPLETE ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FORCE UNIT! ⭐
In this activity, students will:
- READ a brief passage.
- ANALYZE a simple data table, graph, or picture.
- Make a CLAIM based on EVIDENCE for a question related to magnetism.
There are 10 total claims to make from looking at a graph or a data table!
Three Ways to Assign!
- As Stations: Great for getting kids moving around the room! Each of the 10 station cards has a brief passage and a data table, graph, or picture. Students complete a Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning grid on a worksheet for a question at each of the 10 stations.
- As a Worksheet: Great for individual student practice! Students read a short passage and analyze the data or graph to complete a Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning grid for each data set.
- Digitally: A Google Slides version of this activity is included.
Topics include:
- Opposite poles attract and like poles repel
- How distance affects the strength of magnetic forces
- Different materials have different magnetic strengths
- Magnetic field lines show where magnetic strength is the highest
- Electromagnets are only magnetic when electricity flows through them
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 magnetism CER activity 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.
