I will have the students predict whether I will make a basket with this paper. Then, I will throw the paper to see if their predictions were right. This will lead me into the discussion of predictions. I will tell the children that today, we will be making predictions and then testing our predictions to see if we are right. Magnets come in many sizes and shapes.
Some magnets are very strong and some are weak.
A north pole of one magnet will attract a south pole of another magnet. The teacher will ask some questions to make sure the students understand the basics of magnets. If the students seem to understand, the teacher may continue. However, if many students need help the teacher may need to re-teach. The teacher will now actually use a magnet to test the object s magnetism.
