Free Year 3 science game — sort explicitly named materials by noticeable attraction to an ordinary classroom magnet. No account needed.
Sort selected explicitly named materials by whether they show noticeable attraction to an ordinary classroom magnet. 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: Predict and classify selected explicitly named materials by noticeable attraction to an ordinary classroom magnet.
Curriculum anchor: England Year 3 science: compare and group materials by whether they are attracted to a magnet.
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.
Predict before testing supervised, labelled samples; keep small or strong magnets away from mouths and electronic devices, and do not infer material from appearance. 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.
