What educators are saying

They loved doing this and I loved watching their creativity as they tried to make magnets work in different settings.
This was great. I really appreciated the examples and how structured the project was. Students were able to complete it without a lot of questions because everything was spelled out. They spent their time creating instead of wondering what to do. Thanks!
Also included in
  1. 10 stem projects for middle school or higher that are physical science, life science or environmental science. All of the projects are highly structured. Most have rubrics and have detailed directions and reflection questions. Please view the preview for details. Included in this bundle:STEM Wate

Description

Low, easy prep! Add structure and assessment to your MAGNETIC MAZES critical thinking, engineering project! (MS-PS2-3, MS-PS2-5). Building a magnet maze game can be so much fun and students demonstrate their knowledge of the strength of magnetic fields as they create. In all of the excitement it can be easy for the students to lose their focus so I have created a more structured approach to the engineering process.

The students start out with a brainstorming session, that includes a rubric, and plan, plan, plan. As they work their way through building the maze they fill out daily progress reports plus I have included rubrics for the teacher to use to assess the progress of each student each day. At the end of the project the students have a self-assessment form to fill out and there is a final grading form.


Included in this resource:

  • Teacher notes
  • Examples of my students’ mazes
  • Magnetic Maze project directions
  • Brainstorming questions
  • Brainstorming session rubric
  • Daily Journal cards
  • Daily project assessment cards
  • Organizational pages for the students to include their sketches and descriptions
  • Self assessment for students
  • Final Maze assessment rubric

I would love your feedback if you purchase this product! Thank you!

There are several methods I use to get this resource to students.

  1. Since this is a PowerPoint, I simply upload it into a Google slides presentation and share it on Google Classroom with each individual student. The students can then copy which slides they want and paste them into their own Google Slides unit presentation and add text boxes.
  2. You can export the PowerPoint into images and then send the images to them in Google Classroom.
  3. You can download the PowerPoint into images and place all of the images into a Google Drive folder to share with the students.
  4. If you are using iPads, in the same room as the students, you can simply AirDrop the images, Powerpoint or Google Slides presentation to their iPads .

If you have any questions at all, as to how to use these, please contact me at Karensinai2@gmail.com and I am more than happy to help you!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-PS2-3
Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces. Examples of devices that use electric and magnetic forces could include electromagnets, electric motors, or generators. Examples of data could include the effect of the number of turns of wire on the strength of an electromagnet, or the effect of increasing the number or strength of magnets on the speed of an electric motor. Assessment about questions that require quantitative answers is limited to proportional reasoning and algebraic thinking.
NGSSMS-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. Examples of this phenomenon could include the interactions of magnets, electrically-charged strips of tape, and electrically-charged pith balls. Examples of investigations could include first-hand experiences or simulations. Assessment is limited to electric and magnetic fields, and limited to qualitative evidence for the existence of fields.
