Forces and Magnets
In our Science lessons, we will:
- Compare how things move on different surfaces;
- Notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance;
- Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others;
- Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials;
- Describe magnets as having two poles;
- Predict whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing.
