Magnet Activity

Teach students about magnetism, magnetic forces, and real life uses for magnets using this print and digital NGSS aligned activity. Students will read about what a magnet is, the force of magnetism, and magnetic fields. Activities will integrate NGSS Crosscutting Concepts and build upon literacy skills as students demonstrate their understanding of magnets. In addition, two activities are included that align with NGSS to allow students to engineer solutions to problems using magnets and demonstrate how to show magnetic force. All activities are available in print, and digital Google Slides to give you flexibility in the classroom.
