Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 minutes	Begin with a question: "What do you know about magnets?" Introduce magnets and their properties.
2	Types of Magnets	5 minutes	Discuss the different types of magnets (permanent, temporary, electromagnets) and show examples.
3	Understanding Polarity	5 minutes	Explain the concepts of north and south poles, and the principle of attraction and repulsion.
4	Experiment	10 minutes	Hands-on activity: students use bar magnets to test various objects (paperclips, coins) to see which are magnetic and record observations on their worksheets.
5	Discussion	3 minutes	Review findings as a class, discussing any surprises and reiterating key concepts.
6	Homework Assignment	2 minutes	Assign homework: Research a real-world application of magnets and write a short paragraph about it to be submitted in the next class.

Homework Check

Homework will be collected at the start of the next lesson without students having to present it in front of the class to ensure all students feel comfortable sharing their progress.
