Student Name: Katherine Cotton
Title of Lesson: Magnets in the World Total Lesson Time: 180 minutes (3-day period)
Grade(s): 3rd Subject Area: Physical Science
Curriculum Standard(s)
3-PS2-3. Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric
or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each
other. [Clarification Statement: Examples of an electric force could include the
force on hair from an electrically charged balloon and the electrical forces
between a charged rod and pieces of paper; examples of a magnetic force could
include the force between two permanent magnets, the force between an
electromagnet and steel paperclips, and the force exerted by one magnet versus
the force exerted by two magnets. Examples of cause and effect relationships
could include how the distance between objects affects strength of the force and
how the orientation of magnets affects the direction of the magnetic force.]
[Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to forces produced by objects that
can be manipulated by students, and electrical interactions are limited to static
electricity.]
RI.3.1 Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring
explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
, Learning Objectives (Benchmark) and Assessment:
Learning Objective(s) Assessment(s)
Student will be able to:
1. Students will be able to understand how 1. Check for
magnets work data/notes/observations in science
2. Students will be able to explain about the notebook
forces of magnets, and what makes them 2. Quiz on magnetism – what it is,
push each other away or pull toward each how it works
other. 3. Matching worksheet on magnet
3. Students will identify what materials types and materials
magnets can interact through
Materials Needed:
• Magnet bars
• Magnet marbles
• Horseshoe magnet
• Paper clips
• Paper
• Pencil
• Science journal
• Computers
• Objects with and without magnetic properties
• “Magnets Push, Magnets Pull” by Anna Raff & David A. Adler
