A brilliant set of 4 PowerPoints which cover Forces and Magnets in Year 3. The PowerPoints include Engaging Starters, Lesson Objectives, key scientific skills, Key Vocabulary, Literacy and Numeracy, Investigations, Class Discussions and Plenaries.
This is an assessment for Year 3 'Forces and Magnets' science objectives. Also included is a detailed mark scheme and a spreadsheet to record the results.
Objectives Covered:
Compare how things move on different surfaces
Notice that some forces need contact between 2 objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance
Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others
Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials
Describe magnets as having 2 poles
Predict whether 2 magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing
ALSO ADDED: Individual assessments for ALL science objectives for ALL year groups are available for purchase as are individual year group, KS1, KS2 or complete Primary packs.

This editable Science PowerPoint lesson can be used as an introduction to studying the topic of Forces. Suitable for KS1 and lower KS2.
It introduces force as a simple concept of push and pull; lets pupils explore the movements of objects when force is applied; invites pupils to measure the force of carrying an object using a force/Newton meter.
The lesson has plenty of opportunities for independent learning and exploration.
It comes with an investigation template and a worksheet with a Venn diagram for sorting forces into push, pull or both.
For this lesson you will need:
1. Large piece of paper / whiteboards for each group for the Starter (optional).
2. Newton meters for investigation (at least 1 per group).
3. Plastic bags to put small classroom objects in (at least 1 per group).
4. Marbles / bouncy balls / soft balls for exploration (at least 1 per group).
5. Force PowerPoint , investigation template and worksheet (all included in the resource).
The PowerPoint contains 15 slides, the text is editable.

This planning covers the following NC objectives:
Compare how things move on different surfaces.
Notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance.
Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others.
Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials.
Working Scientifically objectives
Asking relevant questions and use different types of scientific enquiries to answer them
Making systematic and careful observations and, where appropriate, taking accurate measurements using standard units, using a
range of equipment, including thermometers and data loggers
Setting up simple practical enquiries, comparative and fair tests
Gathering, recording, classifying and presenting data in a variety of ways to help in answering questions
Record findings using simple scientific language, drawings, labelled diagrams, keys, bar charts, and tables
Using straightforward scientific evidence to answer questions or to support their findings
Identifying differences, similarities or changes related to simple scientific ideas and processes
KS2 Science: Forces and Magnets
Help children revise their knowledge of the forces and magnets with this fun quiz. Great to use to finish a forces and magnets topic in KS2 Science, or to assess some of their knowledge at the beginning of the topic.
This download complements our book ‘Forces and Magnets: Let’s Investigate’ from our KS2 Science Essentials series. For more information, downloads and to purchase our books, please visit www.rubytuesdaybooks.com
This poster can be used as a knowledge organiser for the start of a topic or as a poster in the classroom. The information is based on the Y3 science national curriculum. However, it could be used as ‘what I should know’ information for older children ranging up to Year 8.
The topics covered include:
Magnetic poles - attract and repel
Earths magnetic force
Is it magnetic? (Interactive section - pupils can test the object to see if it is magnetic and tick or cross the box)
Forces - push, pull, driving force and friction
I have included an editable PPT verision and the finished PDF version.

Forces and Magnet 5 week plan, should last approx. 4 weeks. The plan is fully differentiated for each lesson. Originally planned for Year 3 however could be adapted for other year groups.
Week 1 - Prior Knowledge and Understand pushes and pulls
Week 2 - Know that magnetic force acts at a distance and group objects based on if they are attracted to a magnet or not.
Week 3 - Compare how things move on different surfaces
Week 4 - Predicting whether magnets will attract or repel.

This is a poster to reinforce the year 3 science topic: Forces and magnets. The beautifully designed poster is packed full of information and can be either used for revision or as part of a display in your classroom. PLEASE NOTE: The misalignment in the 2nd preview (the Word version) is not a reflection of how it looks, but a TES issue with generating previews.

An ideal VAK activity involving a bit of cutting out - followed by a bit of origami - leading to the children asking and answering questions on Forces and Magnets. A fun way to reinforce important science concepts, vocabulary and definitions. 5 Chatterbox sheets offering a comprehensive coverage of the topic. Suitable for ages 7-12.
Students are introduced to forces and magnets with key vocabulary including magnetic, attract, repel, pole, north and south in a 2 page worksheet with interactive activities covering reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Suitable for distance learning, home schooling, Primary and English as a Foreign Language students.
Word and PDF documents included so you can edit if required.
Assessment for the end of the forces and magnets assessment to show children’s understanding of the topic, including diagrams, filling in words and identifying properties of materials.
A full lesson PowerPoint learning about how Magnets and Forces are linked together. It includes a starter, lesson objectives, key scientific skills, vocabulary, literacy, numeracy, an exciting investigation, class discussion and a plenary.
Science: Friction. How do things move on different surfaces?
This PowerPoint Science lesson can be used as an introduction to studying Friction. Suitable for KS2. Goes well with Year 3 topic on Forces and Magnets.
The lesson introduces Friction in a fun and engaging way! Pupils go on an exploration journey around the school grounds to find the best surface for ice-skating, all wearing their own “skates.” 4 surfaces to test are suggested - grass, tarmac, carpet, linoleum. Children observe themselves "skating" on the surfaces and rate them accordingly.
The lesson has plenty of opportunities for independent learning and exploration.
It comes with an investigation sheet; a template for skates; a number of engaging activities; higher level questions; a debate opportunity, and a quick pair assessment. All text is editable, so that it can be tailored to the needs of your class. The lesson has been tried and tested with very positive feedback from the pupils!
