10 Questions I have made up about magnets and magnetism - Worksheet - Year 3

In a Year 3 science worksheet created by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, students are encouraged to explore the concept of magnets and magnetism through a series of thought-provoking questions. The first question asks, "What do we mean by a force?" This invites young learners to delve into the fundamental idea of forces, which are pushes or pulls that can cause objects to move, change direction, or alter shape. Understanding forces is crucial for grasping how magnets interact with certain materials.

The subsequent question, "What is a magnet?" prompts students to define a magnet and consider its properties. A magnet is an object or material that produces a magnetic field, which is invisible but responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: the force of attraction or repulsion of magnetic materials like iron. This worksheet is designed to encourage collaborative learning, as students are tasked with using their questions to challenge a partner and find out who can score more, thereby reinforcing their understanding of magnetic principles through friendly competition.
