Magnetic Objects Worksheet

Magnets turns prior knowledge into a testable prediction. Students inspect everyday object pictures, decide whether each is likely to respond to a magnet, and circle their choices. The closing questions explicitly invite discussion and hands-on testing, making room for revision when a prediction is incorrect. The activity supports the important distinction between an object’s appearance and the material it contains, since not every shiny or metal-looking item is necessarily attracted to a magnet.
