Play Forces & Magnets Lab
Compare contact and magnetic forces, predict attraction or repulsion, and interpret supplied movement-on-surfaces tests. Saving is off unless you choose it.
Predict facing-pole behaviour and use repulsion to distinguish an ordinary bar magnet from an unmagnetised iron bar in a supplied comparison. Practical testing is not assessed.

Predicting Magnetism
Start here
Focus on predicting whether magnets will attract or repel. Open support for “Look at How Magnets Attract and Repel”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 3 learners practise predicting whether magnets will attract or repel.
The activities include Look at How Magnets Attract and Repel, Look at the Forces of Attraction and Repulsion, Understand the Difference Between a Magnet and a Magnetic Object. The checked support below includes video, practice, teaching, interactive. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
