This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on magnets and electromagnets which tests knowledge and reinforces prior learning. It is an ideal activity for the end of the topic or for test prep. It suits a wide range of abilities and can even be used for a cover lesson as all answers are provided. This is so much fun, pupils will forget they are learning! How to Play Divide students into groups of 4. Shuffle cards. Groups lays their cards in a square face down. Students take turns to turn over two cards. The pupil keeps the pair If a question is matched by its answer,. If not the two cards are replaced face down and the next pupil takes a turn. Continue until all cards are paired. The student with the most pairs wins. A student can challenge if they think an opponent’s pair is not a correct match.. If the challenge is found correct the challenger takes the cards. Pupils should check their books for the correct answer but, for ease, a quick-check answer sheet is provided for the teacher. Included in this Pack. 21 question and 21 answer cards Answer sheet. How to play directions Preparation Use back-to-back printing to copy a set for each group of 4 pupils. Sheets can be laminated to enable year-on-year use. Trim sheets into cards. Prior Knowledge Required: An Overview of Magnets and Magnetic Fields Composition of Magnets: Magnets are constructed using magnetic materials. Common materials include Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, and their corresponding alloys. Pole Interactions: Magnets have two types of poles - North and South. When two like poles (e.g., North and North) come close to each other, they repel. Conversely, when opposite poles (e.g., North and South) are brought together, they attract each other. Magnetic Fields: Surrounding every magnet is an invisible force field known as the magnetic field. This field can be visualized through field lines. Field Line Density: The density of these field lines determines the strength of the magnetic field. A region with closely spaced field lines indicates a stronger magnetic field than a region where they're spread out. Visualization of Field Lines: It's essential to understand and recognize the pattern of field lines around two bar magnets, especially when they have the same or opposite poles facing each other. Field Strength at Poles: The magnetic field is strongest at the poles of a magnet due to a higher concentration of field lines. Distance and Field Strength: The strength of the magnetic field diminishes as one moves farther from the magnet. Direction of Field Lines: Field lines emanate outward from the magnet's south pole and point inward toward the north pole. Magnetization Process: When a non-magnetized magnetic material becomes a magnet, the tiny regions within it called domains, which were initially oriented in random directions, align themselves to point uniformly in the same direction. Earth's Magnetic Properties: The Earth behaves like a large magnet. Interestingly, there appears to be a south-type magnetic pole near the Earth's geographic North Pole and a north-type magnetic pole near the Earth's geographic South Pole. Application in Devices: It would be beneficial to have a basic understanding of how magnets and magnetic fields operate within certain devices. Familiarize yourself with the structure and functioning of electric bells, relays, and circuit breakers, as they use these principles. With this foundational knowledge, you will be better prepared to delve deeper into the study of magnets and their wide-ranging applications.

The activity involves a set of cards with pictures of various household items, such as a bed, clothes, dresser, pillow, lamp, and mirror. Each card is designated to a specific room, such as "bedroom," "bathroom," "kitchen," or "living room." Here is just one of the ideas you can use with this activity - The learners are presented with the activity sorting cards and are asked to sort them into different piles according to their designated room. As the children sort the cards, they will be asked to identify the objects in each card, and to explain why they belong in a particular room. This will help them to develop their vocabulary, categorization skills, and logical reasoning. Another Idea is one on one where the learner is presented with two different rooms cards and presented a sorting card one at a time and asked the learner what the sorting card is and which room it belongs. Give the card to the learner and have the learner add the sorting card to the correct room. This task-based learning approach provides a fun and engaging way for children to learn about sorting and categorizing common household items. Through this activity, children will develop their cognitive skills, communication skills, and creativity while also gaining a better understanding of the world around them. This activity is easy to create and assemble. Print, laminate and cut once. It can be stored by coil binding or three hole punched and placed in a binder. One other way of storing this activity is by hole punching and placing ring binders through the holes. Enjoy Many years of teaching IFIO girl

Girl version- The educational activity involves sorting clothing items based on their features, functions, and classes. The learners will be presented with a collection of various clothing items such as shirts, pants, jackets, sweaters, and so on. The objective of the activity is to categorize these items based on their unique features, functions, and classes. To begin the activity, the instructor will introduce the concept of feature, function, and class, providing examples and a brief description of each. The learners will then be given a set of clothing items and asked to sort them into categories based on these three criteria. For example, the learners could sort clothing items based on the feature of long sleeves, the function of keeping warm, or the class of pants. They could also be asked to sort clothes based on a combination of these criteria, such as sorting long sleeve shirts that are also suitable for cold weather. The instructor could also provide feedback and additional information about the clothing items and their features, functions, and classes. By completing this activity, the learners will improve their critical thinking and analytical skills as they learn to categorize and classify objects based on different criteria. They will also develop their knowledge and understanding of clothing items and their unique features, functions, and classes. The pages are clear of visual distractions which helps the learner focus on the task. This activity is easy to create - laminate all cards, cut out the individual sorting cards and velcro to the corresponding activity mat. You can hole punch the mats and put them in a binder or use binder clips for many years of teaching and learning. Enjoy, IFIO girl
