Free Year 3 science practice — compare contact forces, predict magnet poles and interpret surface tests. No account needed.
Compare contact and magnetic forces, predict attraction or repulsion, and interpret supplied movement-on-surfaces tests. The default practice mode is untimed, so the learner can think before choosing. Correct answers build a gentle celebration; mistakes receive corrective feedback and return later rather than causing a penalty spiral.
Learning objective: Use evidence and pole rules to reason about pushes, pulls, magnets and movement on different surfaces.
Curriculum anchor: England Year 3 science: forces and magnets.
This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.
Pair the supplied-data questions with supervised, age-appropriate magnets and controlled surface tests; keep small or strong magnets away from mouths and electronic devices. Stop while attention is still good. A short accurate return tomorrow is more useful than extending a tired session today.
Does it need an account? No. The game runs in the browser and asks for no name, email address, school or location.
Is it timed? Practice is untimed. Where a sprint exists it is optional. Times Tables Sprint also includes MTC-style independent practice, not an expected-standard judgement.
Can it be used on a phone? Yes. Buttons support touch and keyboard use; sorting always has a tap alternative to dragging.
