MELCS: Characterize magnetic force


Lesson: MAGNETIC FORCE (Module 2, page 7-11)
Magnets are all around you, and they are If the poles of a magnet are the same and

(like poles repel).
Magnets have an invincible magnetic field.
Magnets will not attract all kinds of metals. Only
objects made of iron, cobalt and nickel will be
attracted to magnets.
If the poles of a magnet are different and
placed near each other, then they will be pulled
together or will attract each other. Thus, a nearby
south pole and a north pole will result to attraction
There are several types of magnets like ring (unlike poles attract).

The force of attraction of a magnet is greater

The ends of the magnets are called poles.

Activity 1: Draw 5 objects that can be attracted by magnet and 5 objects that cannot be attracted by magnet.

Objects attracted by the magnet Objects not attracted by the magnet

ACTIVITY 2: Magnetic or Non-Magnetic


Put a check (/) if the object is magnetic and a cross (X) if it is non-magnetic.
