Forces and Magnets

We will be learning:

• to recognise what forces are and the different types of forces
• that some forces require contact between two objects but others do not
• what friction is and how it works
• that magnets have two poles and that they can repel or attract depending on which poles are closest to each other
• which materials are magnetic and which ones are not
• the different uses that magnets have

We will be observing and investigating:

• how objects move on different surfaces and the role friction plays in this
• how magnets work 
• which materials are magnetic
