6 November - 12 November

FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

We are EXPLORING on recognising how magnetism works.

We are EXPLORING on experimenting with magnetism.

We are EXPLORING on reading information about energy and connecting our understanding of it.

Success Criteria: I can...

• Write answers to questions about magnetism.
• Create a magnetic pendulum.
• Connect information about magnetism.
• Read an article about magnetism.

                                                                                                     Achievement Objectives:

Explore, describe, and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as magnetism.

                                                                                                                      Monday

• The students will first watch this about a crash course on magnetism.
• Then they will see a list of directions on a compass which show where the opposite pole of a magnet is. They will write in their science books the opposite end if it is attracting or the same end if it is repelling.
• Afterwards, they will see a map of the Earth and the middle of the world. They will choose any place in the world that is the middle of the world and draw a map of the world which shows magnetic field which goes to different places.
• Finally, within the slideshow they have made about the different circus acts they will add images of magnets if they were there and explanations for magnets. 
• The students will have compassion for the people who do the circus acts.

                                                                                                                     Tuesday

The students will first watch this   of the world's strongest magnet.

• In their science books the students will write and answer the questions below:

• 1. Before you read this, what is magnetism? 

  2. List stories, films, books which show magnetism.

  3. What similarities or consistencies are there between them.

• Students will then read the article "People may indeed have a sixth sense - for magnetism."
  

• They will write any keywords and scientific vocabulary which are related to magnetism.
• Finally, they will rule a 10cm by 10cm frame and draw a picture, icon, or meme that represents the concept/theme of magnetism.

OR

They will complete the "People may indeed have a sixth sense - for magnetism" grid.

OR

They will write notes about the article "People may indeed have a sixth sense - for magnetism" which summaries the main points in them.

                                                                                                               Thursday

The students will draw a design of a magnetic pendulum then they will create a magnetic pendulum like in this link. Then they will write about how the magnets attract or repel.
