L I. LEARNING SKILL

A. Most Essential Learning Competency

Characterize magnetic force S4FE-IIId-e-3

B. Objectives
At the end of this learning activity bundle, you should be able to:
1. Identify the parts and types of a magnet;
2. Determine if an object is magnetic or non- magnetic; and
3. Characterize magnetic force.

II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

One of the first bits of science most children discover is playing with
magnets. That's because magnets are easy to use, safe, and fun. They're
also quite surprising. Remember when you first discovered that two
magnets could snap together and stick like glue?
A magnet is a rock or a piece of metal that can pull certain types of
metal toward itself. In fact, anything that has a motor uses a magnet. Do
you know that these magnets play important roles in our daily lives? Let
us find out how a magnet works.

 III. ACTIVITIES

A. Practice Tasks

Pre-Test
Let us help Sephy. What can be attracted to magnets? Put a happy face
( ) if the object can be attracted to a magnet and a sad face ( ) if it
cannot.

1. scissor
2. plastic spoon

4. metal clips
3. rock

6. colored paper
5. nail

7. leaf 8. wire

1. Activity

Identifying the characteristics of a magnet.

Read the information below and answer the questions that follow.

A magnet is a material that has iron core and has electric charges
running around it. A magnet is produced in various shapes and sizes.
Magnets have an invisible magnetic field which attracts certain metals but
do not attract all metals. Objects made of iron, nickel and cobalt are
attracted to magnets.

2
 A magnet has end poles.
One pole is called the north pole
and the other is called the
south pole.

Magnets are attracted to three types of metals. These metals are

made of nickel, iron, and cobalt.

There are several types of magnets like ring magnets, rectangular

or bar magnets, and the horseshoe magnets.

Ring Magnet rectangular magnet horseshoe magnet

Answer the following question:
1. What is a magnet?
2. What does a magnet have?
3. What kind of materials are attracted to magnets?
4. What are the two end poles of a magnet?

2. Analysis

Identify the types of magnets. Draw and describe each of them. Present
your output by filling up the concept map

3. Abstraction

Magnets strongly attract objects that contain iron, steel, nickel, or

cobalt. Magnets also attract or repel (push away) other hard magnets.
This happens because every magnet has two opposite poles or ends: a
north pole and a south pole. North poles attract the south poles of other
magnets, but they repel other north poles. Likewise, south poles attract
north poles, but they repel other south poles.

The magnetic forces between the two poles of a magnet create a

magnetic field. This is the area affected by the magnet. A magnetic field
surrounds all magnets.

The parts of a magnet include:

✓ magnetic pole - area where the magnetic field lines originate
✓ magnetic field line - line of magnetic force that a magnet emanates
✓ magnetic field - area around the magnet where there is magnetic
force

Almost everyone knows these six basic facts about how magnets behave:
1. A magnet has two ends called poles, one of which is called a north
pole or north-seeking pole, while the other is called a south pole or
south-seeking pole.
2. The north pole of one magnet attracts the south pole of a second
magnet, while the north pole of one magnet repels the other magnet's
north pole. So, we have the common saying: like poles repel, unlike
poles attract.
3. A magnet creates an invisible area of magnetism all around it called
a magnetic field.
4. The north pole of a magnet points roughly toward Earth's north pole
and vice-versa. That's because Earth itself contains magnetic
materials and behaves like a gigantic magnet.
5. If you cut a bar magnet in half, you get two brand new, smaller
magnets, each with its own north and south pole.
6. If you run a magnet a few times over a not magnetized piece of a
magnetic material (such as an iron nail), you can convert it into a
magnet as well. This is called magnetization.

4. Application

A. Directions: Put a check mark (✔) if the object can be attracted to a

magnet and a cross mark (❌) if it cannot.
1. metal clip 2. concrete nails 3. scissors

4. paper 5. safety pins 6. glass

7. pebbles 8. marbles 9. pencils

B. Directions: Identify the characteristics of a magnet by supplying the

missing word to complete the sentences. Choose from the words inside
the box.

iron core magnetic field

electric nickel
end poles.

A magnet has an ____________ and has _____________ charges.

It has also an area where you can force called _______________. Objects
made of iron, ________ and cobalt are attracted to magnets. A magnet
has two ______________.

 B. Assessment
1. Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is
not.
1. The same poles of magnets repel.
2. All magnets have two south poles.
3. Opposite poles of magnets attract.
4. Not all metals are attracted to magnets.
5. Most objects with iron are not attracted to magnets.
6. The pulling or pushing force is strongest at the north pole.
7. Magnetic field is an area around the magnet where there is magnetic
force.
8. The force of attraction of a magnet is greater at the middle than in the
poles.
9. Magnets strongly attract objects that contain iron, steel, nickel, or
cobalt. Magnets can repel an object made of wood.
10. If you break a magnet into two pieces, you will have two magnets
with the north and south poles.
