Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How do magnets behave?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Magnets are strongest on their ends.
  2. The ends are called magnetic poles.
  3. Opposite poles attract and similar poles repel.
  4. Magnets can be made by stroking an magnetic material in the same direction with the same pole.
  5. Magnetic materials become magnetic when the domains inside are lined up in the same direction.
  6. Magnetic domains are small regions within the material that act like a magnet.
  7. Domains are created by the spinning electrons in particles.
  8. SET HOMEWORK: Wordsearch
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • Magnet: An object with magnetic poles. (5)
  • Domains: An area in a magnetic material where the electrons are spinning in the same direction. (3)
  • Pole: A side of a magnet, North or South. (3)
  • Magnetic material: Ferrous metals, or magnets themselves. (2)
  • Particles (1)
  • Electrons: Small negatively charged sub-atomic particles. (1)
  • Repel: Where two objects have a pushing force between them. (1)
  • Attract: Where two objects have a pulling force between them. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. Which part of the magnet is the strongest?
    magnetic poles, attraction and repulsion
  2. What are the ends of a magnet called?
    The ends are called magnetic poles.
  3. How do the poles of a magnet interact?
    Opposite poles attract and similar poles repel.
  4. How can magnets be made by using another magnet?
    Magnets can be made by stroking an magnetic material in the same direction with the same pole on a magnet.
  5. Why do magnetic materials become magnetic?
    Magnetic materials become magnetic when the domains inside are lined up in the same direction.
  6. What is a magnetic domain?
    Magnetic domains are small regions within the material that act like a magnet.
  7. How are magnetic domains created?
    Domains are created by the spinning electrons in particles

Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
