Demonstrate that magnets have poles that repel and attract each other.
Grade: Fourth
Necessary Materials:
White school glue
Paper
Printer
Water
Liquid starch
Iron Oxide powder
Magnets
Rubber gloves
Exit tickets
Measuring teaspoon
Measuring ¼ cup
Paper towels
Bowls
Spoons
Computer
Smart Board
1. Engage:
Teacher will introduce topic; magnets.
Teacher will administer a KWL chart for students to complete.
Teacher will showcase a short video on the state of matter;
o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR9w4koW2EA&list=WL&index=2&t=6s
Teacher will ask students what they think slime has to do with magnets.
2. Explore:
Teacher will administer materials to make slime.
Students will complete the necessary directions to make the slime as instructed by the
teacher.
Students will explore with the slime.
o Big Idea Questions:
o Why are we using all of these chemicals? What importance do they have?
o How do magnets play a role with the slime?
Students will explore with the magnets.
o Big Idea Questions:
o What are the N and S for on the magnets? What do they stand for?
o What happens when you put the N and S together? What happens when you put
the S and S together and N and N together?
Students will explore with the magnets and slime.
o Big Idea Questions:
o What happens when the magnets touch the slime?
o Does the slime magnetize to both the N and the S or just one?
o Why does the slime magnetize to the magnet?
3. Explain:
Teacher will explain that the slime is magnetic and why (ingredients in the slime).
Teacher will explain the poles of the magnets and show that they repel and attract.
Students will add to the KWL chart.
4. Elaborate:
Students will participate in an activity with questions about magnetism and poles on the
board.
Each student will go to the board and circle the correct answer with the help of their
peers, if needed. Students will apply the knowledge they have obtained in exploration.
Students will add to their KWL chart.
5. Evaluate:
Students will complete an Exit Ticket that is supplied by the teacher.
o Exit Ticket Questions:
o What are the names of N and S and what are they called in regards to magnets?
o What happens when opposite sides of a magnet are put together?
o What happens when like sides of a magnet are put together?
What are the names of N and S and what are they called in
regards to a magnet?
