Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Observe how two magnet poles interact
Compare like-pole and opposite-pole behavior
Use direct evidence from a magnet trial to explain attraction or repulsion
Teaching tips
Do not distribute the page until its reversed attraction-and-repulsion statements have been corrected.
After correction, have learners predict each interaction and then record what the magnets actually do.
Skills covered
Scientific observation — learners record the behavior of paired magnets.
Comparison — like and opposite pole arrangements are tested separately.
Evidence-based explanation — the written conclusion follows the physical trial.
