Teach or revise the skill first

These short guides explain the idea with worked examples. Read one together before the worksheet, then use the sheet as practice.

  • Magnets: test rather than guess: Study guide for Grades 2 to 5: 4 key ideas, including two poles, materials and contact is not required; 2 worked examples and 3 practice questions. Distinguish attraction, repulsion and the limits of material generalizations.
  • What does a magnet attract?: Study guide for Grades 1 to 4: 2 worked examples and 2 practice questions. Test the material, not the colour or size: iron and steel are attracted; wood, plastic, glass, aluminium and copper are not.
  • Magnet poles: Study guide for Grades 2 to 4: 2 worked examples and 2 practice questions. Every magnet has a north pole and a south pole. Like poles push apart; opposite poles pull together.
