Amazing Magnetic Worms

Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. [Examples: the electrical forces between a charged rod and pieces of paper; the force between 2 permanent magnets, the force between an electromagnet & steel paperclips, Focus on forces produced by objects that can be manipulated by students, & electrical interactions – limited to static.] “||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 3||Physical Science||Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions |||Define a simple design problem that can be solved by applying scientific ideas about magnets. [ Examples: make a door latch; creating a device to keep two moving objects from touching each other.] ||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 3||Physical Science||Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions |||Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. ||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 2||Physical Science||Matter and its Interactions|||Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 2||Physical Science||Matter and its Interactions|||3.MD.5.
