OBJECTIVES

At the end of each lesson, the pupils should be able to:

1. Describe how magnet can move objects; and

2. Identity materials that can be moved by magnets.

TOPIC: MAGNETISM

REFERENCE: Grade 3 Textbook, page 117-118

MATERIALS

For the teacher: Different magnets, manila paper , construction paper

For the pupils: Paper clips, cardboard, thumbtacks, small nails, eraser, wood, crayon, scissor, plastic
bottle.

PROCEDURE

A.REVIEW

What are the things that can make objects move?

B. MOTIVATION/ PRESENTATION

Show different types of magnets. Ask:

 Can you describe each of these magnets?

 What name is given to each type?
 What does a magnet do?

C. LESSON PROPER

1. Let the pupils do the activity individually.

2. Give them at least 10 minutes to do the activity 1.

3. Discuss each question in the activity. Refer to the answers to questions/ tasks in the background
information. Let them check their answers as you discuss the answers. If there are different results, let
the pupils explain their answers to be able to identify where they made the mistakes.

4. After answering question a, ask the pupils of the direction of the movement of paperclip.

5. For question b, the pupils should identify the objects that can be moved by a magnet.
6.For question c, they should observe that the objects that can be moved by the magnet are iron, steel,
or other metal objects that contain these two. Those that did not move are non-metals like plastic,
rubber, wood. If a paperclip that is made of pure plastic is available, show the pupils that a paperclip will
not move when placed near a magnet. This shows that it is not the object but the kind of material that
the object is made of that is attracted to a magnet.

7. The concepts developed in the activity are:

 Objects attracted to a magnet are made of iron and some metals.

 A magnet doesn’t necessarily have to be directly touching a magnetic object to affect it. It can
attract a magnetic object at a distance.

ASSESSMENT

True or False (1-3)

1.

2.Like poles repel, unlike poles attract.

3.

4&5. Give at least two (2) examples of metallic materials that will attract to the magnet.
