What would the model look like if you drew this and
labeled it?
Background - Schema
Some magnets can pull harder than other than others.
Remember every force has a strength and a direction.
The strength and direction of a magnets force can
depend on the magnets size, materials the magnet is
made of, how far away the magnet is, and how the
magnet is turned. In this investigation we will explore
magnetic forces and how the magnet interacts with other
materials.
Schema
Distance weakens the magnetic force between a
magnet and another object or another magnet.

Word Bank
Temporary Magnet- a piece of
iron that acts or behaves like a
magnet when it is touching a
permanent magnet.
Induced magnetism the
influence of a permanent magnets
magnetic field on a piece f iron,
which makes the iron act like a
magnet.
Discussion
What happens when you touch a piece of iron to a
permanent magnet?
Schema
Magnetism is induced into the piece of iron and it
becomes a temporary magnet.
Magnetism can be induced only in iron or steel.
Discussion
Is the force of magnetism stopped by any materials?
How do we know?
Schema
Yes. The force will be stopped by thick objects and
sheets of steel.
Discussion
How does distance affect the ability of a magnet to
attract a piece of iron?
Schema
Distance weakens the magnetic force between a
magnet and another object or another magnet.
