Students reflect on the ferrofluid activity in concept 1 to consider what factors affect the strength of a magnetic force.
Students observe the attractive and repulsive properties of magnets. Students test various materials to consider what makes an object magnetic.
Students plan and conduct an investigation to determine the factors that affect the strength of a magnetic force, including size, orientation, and distance of interacting objects.
Students explain results about factors that affect the strength of magnetic force to other groups. They analyze an article about magnetic properties, and complete a kinesthetic model that demonstrates these properties.

Students conduct an investigation and read to understand how amount of potential energy can be changed during magnetic interactions.
Students complete an assessment to demonstrate their understanding of magnetism.
Students read about Earth’s magnetic field and use a compass to create their own scavenger hunt around campus.
In this concept, students will discover the answer to the question, “What affects the strength of a magnetic force?"
