Magnets and magnetism worksheets help Grade 2 students (ages 7-8) investigate how magnets attract and repel, which materials are magnetic, and how magnetic force acts through space and other materials. Children conduct predict-and-test investigations that build scientific reasoning alongside physical science knowledge. These pages are among the most hands-on and exciting in Grade 2 science. Part of our forces and machines worksheets collection.
What You'll Learn
- Predict which materials will be attracted to a magnet and test the prediction
- Demonstrate that magnetic poles attract and repel and explain why
- Describe how magnetic force can act through air and thin materials
FAQ
What do magnets and magnetism worksheets teach second graders?⌄
Students learn that magnets have poles that attract or repel each other, that only certain materials (mostly iron and steel) are attracted to magnets, and that magnetic force can act through air, water, and thin materials. For 7-8 year olds, the invisible-yet-powerful nature of magnetism makes it one of the most captivating physical science topics.
When do second graders learn about magnets?⌄
Magnets and magnetism are a classic Grade 2 physical science topic, included in most state and national standards at this level. The topic requires minimal equipment (a few magnets and everyday objects) but delivers rich hands-on learning that children find genuinely exciting.
How can I use these worksheets at home?⌄
Give your child a refrigerator magnet and challenge them to test every surface and object in the kitchen to predict and record which ones are magnetic. Use the worksheets to create a predict-then-test table, marking each item before testing it. The surprise of some predictions being wrong is the best science lesson of all.
