    1. The lesson plan has students work as engineering teams to design and build a tool using provided materials (magnet, pipe cleaner, tape, yarn) to solve the problem of retrieving dropped paperclips from behind a desk using magnetism. 2. Students will first observe magnetic and non-magnetic materials, then design, build, test and modify their tool before presenting and demonstrating its effectiveness at picking up the paperclips. 3. The lesson aims to teach students that magnets can be used to create tools to solve problems by attracting certain metals like those in paperclips.

    Lesson Plan

    Content Area(s)/Course/Grade:
    SCI.K.3 The student will investigate and understand that magnets have an effect on some materials, make
    some things move without touching them, and have useful applications.
    Lesson Topic: Date:
    Solve a Problem with a Magnet January
    Expectations:
    1. Students will be able to use knowledge of magnetism to create a tool to solve a
    problem (dropped paper clips)
    Context for Learning
    1. Magnets are useful to people
    2. A tool is something used to help solve a problem
    3. Certain metals are attracted to magnets- paperclips are magnetic
    Instructional Delivery
    Link:
    1. Open class science notebook to magnetic/non-magnetic T-chart.
    2. Show the class a pair of scissors and ask where they would fall on our T-chart.
    Discuss that the metal part is magnetic, but the plastic handles would not stick.
    3. Define tool (something used to help solve a problem) using the scissors as an
    example of something designed to help us solve a problem. “What would happen if
    we didn’t have scissors to cut something out?”
    4. “Now, we are going to be engineers. Who remembers what an engineer does?”
    Look for- a scientist who designs and builds things.
    Procedures:
    1. Present the problem: “Mrs. Biester dropped her stash of paper clips behind her
    desk and cannot reach them with her hand.” Show the class the height of the drop.
    “I need you to work in engineering teams to design and build a tool to help me
    rescue the paper clips from behind my desk. You will be provided the following
    materials.” Show picture label cards for each item: magnet, pipe cleaner, tape and
    yarn.
    2. Assign partners and send students back to their tables to begin working on the
    design sheet. Once the pair decides on a design they may begin to build. Students
    will be given the opportunity to test their design and make adaptations as
    necessary.
    Assessment/Evaluation (Formative/Summative)
    After every team has built and tested their design, I will call students back to the carpet.
    Each design team will present their design and have a chance to explain their process.
    They will then show their tool in action by picking up the paperclips behind the desk.
    Closure:
    Ask the students, “Would your tool have worked if I had dropped a plastic spoon behind
    my desk?” Look for- no, because plastic is not magnetic. Tell students, “Now that we
    designed a tool using a magnet, next we will investigate other common objects and tools
    that use magnets.”
