Subject: Science
Topic: Magnets
Subtopic: Magnetic and Non-magnetic objects
Grade: 2
No. of Students: 22 (12 girls, 10 boys)
Age level: 7-8
Ability: Mixed abilities
Duration: 9:00am- 10:15am
Date: 10th May, 2011
Objectives: Students should be able to:
define what a magnet is
list some uses of magnets in everyday life
say what magnetic and non magnetic means
classify materials as magnetic and non-magnetic
Previous Knowledge: Students know what magnets are.
Instructional Materials:
magnets, magnetic and non-magnetic objects, laptop, projector, individual worksheets.
Teacher learning strategy: Inductive Approach- discussions
Introduction:
Teacher introduces lesson by having students to solve a riddle.
Example:
Some things stick to me
And some things don't
Paper clips do
But papers don't
What can I be?
Can you guess?
Did you say, "magnet"?
Yes, yes, yes!
Have students say what a magnet is. Expected response: A magnet is an object that pulls or sticks to anything that is made of metal or steel.
Developing Activities:
Step 1:
Teacher will explain to students that magnets are useful. Teacher will have students view some objects that magnets are in. Example: telephone, radio speakers, computers etc.
ask students if they have any magnets at home, and if so how are they used. Example: stickers on refrigerators. Students will share other ways magnets are used.
Step 2:
Teacher will place a variety of objects on students desk. Metal and Non-metal objects will be used in each selection. have students work in groups to record their predictions about which of the objects will be attracted to a magnet.
Step 3:
Each group will be given a magnet. Have students test each object with a magnet and group the objects in two piles; one for objects that attract to the magnet and one for objects that does not attract to the magnet. Ask students to describe in their own words the term magnetic and non-magnetic.
Expected response: Magnetic means the object is made of metal or steel so it can stick to a magnet and Non- magnetic means the object is not made of metal or steel so the object cannot stick to the magnet.
Students will list all the objects that are magnetic and all those that are non-magnetic.
Example:
Magnetic Non-magnetic
Metal screw Leaf
Paper clip Paper
Closure:
Review the lesson with questions to ensure that the students understand the lesson.
Application:
Students will be given an exercise on individual worksheets.
Example: Put the following materials below in its correct column.
Stick battery napkin chalk hair pin string needle fingernail clip metal door shell
Magnetic materials Non-magnetic materials
