The document focuses on the properties of magnets, including the distinction between magnetic and non-magnetic materials. It outlines educational objectives related to understanding attraction and repulsion in magnets, as well as practical activities for students to identify and classify materials. Additionally, it includes homework assignments centered on magnetic fields and drawing diagrams related to magnets.

1. ABOUT MAGNETS www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com

2. MAGNETS OBJECTIVES To know that some materials are magnetic and others are non-magnetic. To know that like poles of a magnet repel while unlike poles of a magnet attract. S N N N S

3. ALL ABOUT MAGNETS Look at the pile of rubbish. Your task is to list which bits (of rubbish) can be picked up with a magnet for recycling. www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com

4. ALL ABOUT MAGNETS Look at the pile of rubbish. Your task is to list bits (of rubbish) which cannot be picked up with a magnet for recycling. And explain why? www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com

5. MAGNETIC OR NON-MAGNETIC? LOOK AT LETTERS A-D and Discuss. A B D C

6. POLES OF A MAGNET Suggest practical ways of verifying the Poles of a Magnet.

7. REPULSION AND ATTRACTION Write a complete sentence using the following keywords: Attraction Repulsion Like poles Unlike poles S N S N N S N S TASK II TASK 1 Which of these bar magnets will attract each other and which pair will repel? And why? Copyright © Ivan @ Science tutors 2006 www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com

8. Demonstrate magnets in slings for attraction/repulsion. Prediction : Make a prediction for this practical activity.

9. MAGNETIC MATERIALS AND MAGNETS Distinguish between Magnetic materials and Magnets. A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field and is able to attract or repel. All magnetic materials are affected by magnetism, but they do not repel like magnets. www.sciencetutors.zoomshare.com

10. PRACTICAL ACTIVITY Demonstrate all magnetic materials attracted but only magnets repelled. Equipment Sample of magnet / non-magnetic materials in sets of 8-10. 8-10 magnets

11. REPU LSION TEST FOR MAG NETS OBJECTIVE To understand that repulsion is used to test whether or not an object is a magnet.

12. LEVELS 5-7 HOMEWORK Draw a bar magnet showing north and south poles. Use your diagram to answer the following questions Where is the magnetism strongest? Put an X. Explain why magnetic effect or magnetism is strongest at point X as shown by your diagram. Draw a diagram showing the field lines around a bar magnet. What are magnetic field lines?

13. LEVELS 3-4 HOMEWORK Recognise that both magnets and the Earth have magnetic field lines. Draw a diagram showing the field lines around a bar magnet. What are magnetic field lines?
