Primary Science Lesson Plan Based Around Magnetism.

Added: 10 Jul 2019 Contributor: Eilis Knight Resource type: Lesson Plan

This resource is lesson plan ideas for teachers to aid with the content level and the topic of magnetism. The teachers can choose which experiments they want to conduct with the children in their class. The lessons and experiments are step by step procedures with worksheet aid and also includes links to other websites for further development of these lessons. While the children are taking part in their experiments, I think it would be beneficial to take a photo story of the steps involved in their experimentation and then it would be possible for the children to use these photo stories to create a procedural piece after about their magnetism experiments.
