Key Stage 2 (Ages 7-11)

Subject

Science

Class Size

20 Students

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson corresponds to the UK National Curriculum for Science, focusing on physical processes and scientific enquiry.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (Minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Magnetism	5	Introduce the concept of magnetism and its importance in daily life. Use a simple diagram to illustrate magnetic fields.
2	Hands-On Exploration	10	Distribute bar magnets and various objects. Allow students to explore which objects are magnetic and which are not, recording their findings on the provided worksheet.
3	Group Discussion	5	Reconvene as a class and discuss the findings. Highlight the properties of magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
4	Magnetic Fields Experiment	7	Demonstrate how a magnetic field can be visualized using iron filings. Students observe the magnetic field around a magnet.
5	Review and Reflection	3	Pose questions about what students learned regarding magnetism and its applications.
6	Homework Assignment	5	Assign homework to research one application of magnets in real life and write a brief report. Distribute worksheets for completion.

Assessment

• Informal assessment through observation during hands-on experiments and discussions.
• Review of homework submissions without class presentations, ensuring understanding of concepts.

Conclusion

Summarize key points of the lesson, reinforcing the significance of understanding magnetism. Encourage students to think of additional uses of magnets in their daily lives.

Additional Notes

• Ensure all students wear safety goggles during hands-on activities.
• Be prepared with extra materials in case of variations in class engagement.
