List magnetic and non magnetic metals - Worksheet - Year 3

In this Year 3 worksheet, students are encouraged to explore the concept of magnetism by categorising metals into two distinct groups: magnetic metals and non-magnetic metals. The task requires pupils to identify which metals are attracted to magnets, classifying them as magnetic, and which are not, labelling them as non-magnetic. This activity helps children understand the properties of different materials and how they interact with magnetic forces.

The worksheet also prompts students to delve into foundational physics by asking two critical questions: "What do we mean by a force?" and "What is a magnet?" These questions are designed to stimulate curiosity and discussion around the fundamental principles of forces and magnetism. By answering these questions, students begin to grasp the invisible yet tangible effects of magnetic forces in the world around them. The worksheet serves as a starting point for young learners to discover and appreciate the fascinating science behind magnetism and its applications in everyday life.
