Year 3: Forces and Magnets

This list consists of lesson plans, activities and video clips to support the teaching of forces and magnets at Year Three. It contains tips on using the resources, suggestions for further use and background subject knowledge. Possible misconceptions are highlighted so that teachers may plan lessons to facilitate correct conceptual understanding. Designed to support the new curriculum programme of study it aims to cover many of the requirements for knowledge and understanding and working scientifically. The statutory requirements are that children are taught to:

• 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.

Visit the primary science webpage to access all lists.

BBC Schools-Friction

Friction is a force between two surfaces that are sliding, or trying to slide, across each other. For example, when you try to push a book along the floor, friction makes this difficult. BBC Bitesize looks at friction.

Children could carry out their own investigation using ramps covered in different materials, predicting which would allow the car to travel the greatest distance.

Page 45 details an investigation which looks at which materials are attracted to magnets and which are not. Children could predict which materials will be magnetic and why, and then test them. Children may be surprised to find that not all metals are magnetic, however only metals which contain iron, nickel or cobalt are magnetic.

Children could go on to investigate the effect of wrapping magnets in paper, cloth, foil and other materials, to find out if they still attract paper clips and other magnetic materials.

Quality Assured Category: Science Publisher: Institute of Physics

This PowerPoint and teachers' notes provide many ideas for activities and games and is a great place to start when planning lessons on magnetism. Use the visuals to guide children in observing practically how magnets attract or repel each other.

The presentation also explores what happens when magnets are hung from threads, compasses and the use of magnets in everyday items.

Magnetic Fun and Games

Quality Assured Category: Science Publisher: Hamilton Trust

This resource contains six activities that link to Forces and Magnets, they are designed for use with mixed age groups classes of Year 3 and 4. Activities include:

• exploring the ways forces act on a range of every day objects, including toy cars on different surfaces – comparing movement of vehicles and conducting a fair test.
• classifying forces as a variety of pushes and pulls, including contact and non-contact forces.
• recording data and using it to create a bar graph of the amount of force needed to pull different weights.
• investigating magnetism and magnetic materials whilst devising their own enquiry questions
• using their understanding of magnetism to create their own magnetic toys and games.

Forces Year 3 & 4 KS2 learning at Primary School. Homework help with Forces and Motion. Learn about what a force is and magnetic forces for Key Stage 2.

What is a force.

A force is a push or a pull . Forces can make objects speed up, slow down, change direction or change shape.

Forces need contact

Forces need contact between two objects. Imagine a football, when you kick it changes direction. It won't change direction on its own until it hits something. Imagine dropping a book. It won't stop until it hits the floor. It needs contact before it changes.

The force between two surfaces is called friction. Friction works in the opposite direction and always slows the moving object down.

There is friction is between a car and the road. The rough surface of the road helps the car stop easily and gives it grip when moving.

Rough bumpy surfaces create a lot of friction. Smooth, flat surfaces create very little friction.

There is friction is between ice skates and the ice. The smooth surface doesn’t make it easy to stop and it’s easy to slide around on the ice.

Because we understand friction we can use friction to help us. We can add grip to the soles of our shoes to stop us from slipping over on smooth surfaces. Or fancy a bit of fun? We can make skis really smooth so it moves quickly over the snow.

Friction can produce heat. Rub your hands together, can you feel the heat between your hands? This is how a match works. The friction between a match and the rough surface on the matchbox creates heat and lights the match. *Do not try this at home without an adult.

Magnetic forces are forces that a made using a magnet. These don't need to touch objects for it to cause a force, the magnet can either push or pull using a magnetic force.
