Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The Earth has a magnetic field with a similar shape to that of a bar magnet.
  2. The Earth's has a magnet field is caused by the spinning of Iron and Nickel core.
  3. The Earth's magnetic field will produce a force on compass needle, aligning the needle with the Earth's field and navigation
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
