11 December - 17 December

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.

                                                                                                     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, the students will create a slideshow about the different types of magnets they know of and give explanations for all of the uses for those magnets.
• The students will have compassion for people who use magnets.

                                                                                                                     Tuesday

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.
