(A1) Unlike Poles 🧲

Grades: 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 5th Grade
Subjects: Science

Student Instructions

Hands-on Investigation 1. Slide 1: Observe a bar magnet. Notice the North Pole and the South Pole. Take a picture of a magnet. Upload to slide 1. Circle the poles. Use the microphone to record a 10-second explanation. 2. Slide 2: Play with the two bar magnets. Put the N and S poles together. What happens? Do they attract or repel? Take a photo. Record a 10-second explanation. 3. Slide 3: Take a video of the N and S poles of two bar magnets attracting. Record a 10-second explanation in the caption. 4. Slide 4: Use two different magnets (wand magnet, ring magnets, or magnet marbles) to record a 10-second video of the magnets attracting with unlike poles. Record a 10-second explanation in the caption. 5. Slide 5: Use two different magnets (wand magnet, ring magnets, or magnet marbles) to record a 10-second video of the magnets attracting with unlike poles. Record a 10-second explanation in the caption. 6. Slide 6: Move the magnets to show the results of unlike poles being brought together. Move the arrows to show the pushing force (repelling) or pulling force (attracting). Record a 10-second explanation. 7. Record the purpose of the activity. Your recording should not exceed 10 seconds. Required Content o What is a pole? (picture of a bar magnet with the N and S poles circled/labeled) o What are unlike poles? (labeled picture of two bar magnets with unlike poles) o What happens? (picture of results with arrows pulling to attract) o Video of 2 bars magnets attracting with unlike poles o Two additional video clips of unlike poles attracting o Purpose of the activity/what you learned Required Vocabulary o Magnets o Poles o Attract o Unlike o Force o Pull o Observe o Investigate o Evidence
