10 Science Second Grade Lesson Plans March 11-15, 2013 Charlesworth, Cochran, Lambright, Wimmer Use magnets to make an object move without being touched Explain how the poles of magnets affect each other (that is, they attract and repel one another) Compare the effect of magnets on various materials Identify everyday uses of magnets. It is essential for students to know that magnets can make an object move without touching the object. Other properties of magnets are: A magnet is solid material that attracts iron or products that contain iron like steel. A magnet can pull objects if the object contains iron. The magnet pulls the object using its magnetic force. This magnetic force cannot be seen but it can be observed when the magnet moves the object without touching it. It is essential for students to know that a magnet has two poles; one on each end. These poles are called the North pole (N) or the South pole (S). If the poles that are alike (North to North or South to South) are put together, they repel or push away. If the poles that are different (North to South or South to North) are put together, they attract or stick together. Some magnets, for example ring magnets, do not have the (N) or the (S) marked on them but they do have two poles that are either located on the top or bottom of the magnet. The poles can be determined by placing the magnets together. If they stay together then the poles are opposite but if they push away from each other the poles are alike It is essential for students to know the effect of magnets on various materials. A magnet is solid material that attracts iron or products that contain iron like steel. If a material does not have iron in its composition, the magnet will not attract it. It is essential for students to know that magnets are used in our everyday lives. They are found in their homes, schools and at places where people work. Some examples of everyday uses of magnets are: Magnets on cranes lift heavy objects like cars in a junk yard Some screwdrivers have a magnetic end to hold the screw in place Magnets on the refrigerator hold student art work so everyone can see it A compass points out the direction we are traveling and the compass needle is magnetic The cabinet doors in our kitchen may be held shut by a magnet Farmers use a magnet to put in a cow s stomach to attract any metal a cow may eat. This keeps the cow from getting hurt by the metal.

11 Monday: Essential Question : How do the poles of magnets affect each other? 1. TTW mark each side of a ring magnet as red or blue prior to lesson. (This is described in management of AIMS Face to Face activity. 2. Guide students to think of all the combinations that two ring magnets can be placed together to test red to red, red to blue, blue to red, blue to blue. 3. Review appropriate vocabulary: like, unlike, attract, repel, move together, move apart. 4. Distribute the Face to Face AIMS sheet and let students predict the outcomes. 5. Distribute the ring magnets which have been marked as red or blue, and let students work in groups to test each possibility. Students will record their findings on the Results section. 6. Use the Push or Pull and Magnetmania sheets to complete using today s findings. Teachers may choose to complete one sheet together and use the second sheet as a daily grade, or use both sheets as a daily grade. Materials: AIMS activity pages , worksheets from District Academics Web site. Tuesday: (This may take 2 days) Essential Question: How do magnets affect various materials? 1. Review the things we have studied using a SMARTBoard review lesson on magnets. 2. Distribute Magnet Attraction sheet and a zip lock bag with the listed items to students. Students will use magnets to determine if the items are attracted by the magnet. Students will record their own results. This may be collected and used as a minor assessment. 3.
