Which 3 are magnetic? - Worksheet - Magnets and Forces - Year 3

In a worksheet designed for Year 3 students exploring magnets and forces, children are presented with a list of everyday items and tasked with identifying which among them are magnetic. The items listed include a key, stone, paper, paperclip, plastic cup, and spoon. Students are instructed to put a tick next to the items they believe to have magnetic properties. Each correct answer is awarded two points, and the activity is timed, with students given 10 minutes to complete the task. This exercise not only tests their understanding of magnetism but also serves as a practical application of their knowledge of materials that are attracted to magnets.

The worksheet also prompts students to consider the concept of a force, with a particular focus on magnets. This question encourages them to think about the invisible pulling or pushing effect that magnets exert on certain materials. By engaging with this activity, students are expected to demonstrate their comprehension of basic physical phenomena and apply this to real-world objects, distinguishing between those that are magnetic and those that are not. The exercise is part of a broader educational framework developed by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, aimed at enhancing students' understanding of scientific principles in a practical and interactive manner.
