Look at a range of magnets. Ask your learners which one they think is the strongest? Weakest? What features of the magnets are they basing their prediction on? Pupils should plan different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions, including recognising and controlling variables where necessary. Personalized Maple Wood Paper Clip Holder | Laser Engraving Wooden Magnet Attach Clip Holder Gift | Unique Gift for Office | Desk Organizer Magnet paper is a combination of magnetized rubber and paper, and typically comes in letter-sized (A4) sheets for easy printing. This type of paper is very popular for short-term advertising and marketing efforts, instant magnet photos for the fridge, educational tools, business cards and so much more.

These short film clips support teachers with practical enquiry. They can be both used as a resource for learners to watch at home. Or as a stimulus to support learners to plan and conduct their own science investigations. They link to the UK Science curricula.When dealing with fairly small magnets, it can be helpful to use mini compasses called plotting compasses.

Magnet paper, as the name suggests, is a type of laminate that combines a sheet of magnets with paper. It can be cheaply acquired and printed on for a wide variety of uses. To do this they set up a comparative test. They test three different magnets and measure the distance that each magnet is able to attract a paper clip. MagneCote is the worlds first magnet paper. It combines a coated paper with a proprietary magnetic coating to create a paper that can be printed, perforated, die-cut, and laminated. MagneCote prints like paper and acts like a magnet.Magnet paper can be matte or glossy, and is ideal for high-quality photos. The paper can be fed through most printers one sheet at a time, and the width of the paper tends to range from 15 millimeters to 60 millimeters. While many companies sell magnet paper in the same size as normal printer paper, there are other forms, such as larger rolls for large-format printing. You should always print on the highest possible quality to get the best results for your magnets. Even though all magnets behave in a similar way not all magnets look the same. In fact, our planet Earth has a magnetic field with a North Pole and a South Pole.

Pupils should take measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision, taking repeat readings when appropriate. You can see that the field is made up of lines that come from the north pole and loop around the magnet to the south pole. The lines are closer together at the poles, making it stronger here, which is why there are more iron filings at both ends. Magnetic Fridge or Wall Horizontal Acrylic Monthly Calendar| Dry Erase | Chalk Markers | Fridge Magnet | Wall Calendar Acrylic Magnets - There is a range of magnets commonly used in school – bar, ring and horseshoe magnets. These magnets are man-made and can lose their magnetic characteristics over time. Dropping them, heating them, or banging them can lower their magnetism. Carefully sprinkle iron filings on top of the paper. Add them slowly as it can be difficult to see the pattern if you have too many filings.Gently tap the paper. This makes the iron filings ‘jump’ which allows them to line up with the magnetic field lines.
