Lesson Plan of Natural and Artificial Magnets

General Science Grade IV

Students’ Learning Outcomes

·         Investigate using a magnet that some materials are “magnetic” and some are “nonmagnetic”
·         Recognize that a magnet has two poles.

Information for Teachers

·         Some materials are magnetic and some are non-magnetic.
·         Magnetic materials are those which are attracted by the magnet.
·         Non-magnetic materials are those which are not attracted by the magnet.
·         A magnet has two poles. One is called the North Pole and the other is called South Pole.
·         The magnet effect of a magnet is the strongest at the poles.

Material / Resources

Bar magnets, pencils, steel clips, pieces of wood, plastic objects, rulers, combs, erasers, steel nails, iron filing, textbook

Worm up activity

·         Ask the students how many of them have seen a magic piece of metal which attracts the iron pieces.
·         What do they call it?
·         Now show a bar magnet to the class.
·         Demonstrate that magnet attracts steel pins or clips.

Development

Activity 1

·         Divide the students into groups.

·         Give each group a bar magnet, some magnet and some non-magnetic materials.

·         Ask students: Do you think a magnet will pull all types of things?

·         Ask the students to test this property of magnet by bringing it near all the given objects turn by turn.

·         After they have tested, ask them to identify the things which are attracted by the magnet and which are not attracted.

·         Tell them that things which are attracted by the magnets are called magnetic materials and things which are not attracted by magnets are called non-magnetic materials.

·         Ask the students to write the names of magnetic and non-magnetic objects in separate columns in their notebooks.

·         Ask them what is common property in all the magnetic materials

 

Activity 2

·         Give a bar magnet and some iron filings to each group.
·         Ask them to place a magnet on a paper.
·         Sprinkle the iron filings on to the bar magnet and tap the table gently.
·         Observe the filing stuck to the bar magnet.
·         Ask the students, are the filings evenly stuck to all parts of the magnet?
·         Disturb the filings and repeat the process and see what happens.
·         Ask the students questions like:
v  On which parts of the magnet, are the iron filings mostly stuck?
(Expected answer: At their ends)
v  Why are the iron filings stuck more at the ends?
(Expected answer: Magnet is stronger at the ends)
v  What do you call the ends of the magnet?
(Expected answer: Poles of the Magnet)
·         After this discussion, inform the students that the ends of magnet are called opposite poles and then introduce the terms of North Pole and South Pole.

Sum up / Conclusion

·         The materials which are attracted by the magnet are called as magnetic materials
·         The materials which are not attracted by a magnet are called non-magnetic materials.
·         Most of the iron filings are attracted towards the ends of the magnet. These ends are called poles.
·         There are two poles of a magnet. One is the North Pole and other is the South Pole.

Assessment

·         Make a table on the board and ask them to copy it in their notebooks.
·         Divide the students into groups.
·         Provide each group the materials given in the table.
·         Ask the students to predict, without using the magnet or not and then record their observations in the table. Instruct them put a tick in the right column.
·         Provide each group a magnet and instruct them to test the objects and record their observations in the given table.
Sr. no.
