What does magnets teach first graders?⌄
First graders learn that magnets exert a force that attracts certain materials, particularly metals containing iron, and repels other magnets depending on which poles face each other. They investigate which common materials are magnetic and which are not, and explore the push and pull forces between magnets.
When do first graders learn about magnets?⌄
Magnets are typically introduced in Grade 1 during a physical science unit on forces and materials. It is a perennially popular topic because students can conduct real investigations with simple bar magnets and a collection of classroom objects, getting immediate and often surprising results.
How can I use these worksheets at home?⌄
Get a simple magnet from a toy store or use a refrigerator magnet and test it against a variety of household objects: paper clips, spoons, coins, pencils, fabric, and foil. Record the results on the worksheet and ask your child to identify a pattern in which objects were attracted.
