Describe the force exerted by a magnet.

What you need:

Two pieces of bar magnets
Manila paper
Marker
Presentation

pole of another bar magnet. Place them at least 5 cm
away from each other. Observe what happens.

6. Illustrate your observations for procedure 2, 3 and 4.
7. Present your output to the class.
Discussion
Guide Questions:
1.What happens when the magnets with the same poles
face each other?
2. What happens when the magnets with opposite poles
face each other?
3. What general statement can you formulate?
Activity 1
For each pair of magnets, write attract or repel.
Activity 2
Answer the following.
Application
How do the magnetic lines of force interact in a
magnet?
What is magnetism?
Generalization
When the poles of the two magnets are put near each other, they
have a force that will either pull them together or push them
apart. If the poles are different, then they will pull together, or
attract each other. (One pole is a south pole and one is a north
pole). If the poles are the same, then they will push apart, or
repel each other. (They are either both south poles or both north
poles) They push and pull of a magnet is called magnetism.
Generalization
There are several types of magnets like ring magnets,
rectangular magnets, horseshoe magnets and bar
magnets.
The ends of the magnets are called its poles. One pole
is called the north pole; the other is the south pole. A
magnet always has both north pole and south pole.
Assessment
Write T if the concept in the sentence is true and write
F if it is not.
1.Magnets attract materials that are made up of iron,
cobalt, and nickel.
2.They can also attract materials that are made up of
gold and silver.
Assessment
3. The magnetic field of a magnet is the space where
magnetic lines of force are found.
4. A nail can be magnetized by rubbing it against a
permanent magnet.
5. Magnetism attracts all objects that are made of
iron.

Draw a line from the magnet to the things it will attract.
Motivation
What do you see in the picture? How do magnets work?
Presentation
Find out: How can you move pins without touching them?
A. Place some pins on the table. Get a magnet. Hold it over
the pins. What happens to the pins?
B. Place the pins on a piece of paper. Hold the magnet
under the paper. Move it forward and backward. Move it in
circles. How do pins move? What force makes the pins
move?
Discussion
Guide Questions:

1. What happens to the pins?

2. How do pins move?
3.What force makes the pins move?

*A magnet exerts force. The force of a magnet pulls the pins

toward it.
*Magnetic force can make some objects move.

Activity 2
Complete the concept. Choose the correct answer from the
box below.

Magnetism is an invisible ____. A magnet does not

have to be ____ something to exert force on it.
Magnetic force is strongest at the ____ of a magnet
____.
Activity 2

The area around a magnet where it has force is called

a magnetic ____. Opposite poles ____ or pull toward
each other. So, a north pole will be attracted to a ____
pole. Poles that are the same ____ or push away from
each other. So, a north pole will repel a ____ pole.
Application
Randy and his friends were decorating the class bulletin
board. They dropped the box of stainless-steel pins by
mistake. They tried to collect the pins using a magnet
but could not succeed. What could be the reason for
this?
Generalization
When the poles of the two magnets are put near each other, they
have a force that will either pull them together or push them
apart. If the poles are different, then they will pull together, or
attract each other. (One pole is a south pole and one is a north
pole). If the poles are the same, then they will push apart, or
repel each other. (They are either both south poles or both north
poles) They push and pull of a magnet is called magnetism.
Assessment
Write T if the concept in the sentence is true and write F if it
is not.
1.In all magnets, only unlike poles attract each other and
like poles always repel each other.
2. Any object that has been magnetized will be magnetic
forever.
Assessment
3. A small particle of a magnet has north and south poles.
4. The strength of a magnet is located at the poles.
5. Nonmagnetic materials can be used as temporary
magnets.

Do the Activity:
Objective:
How do magnetic lines of force interact with a magnet?

What you need:

Bar magnet, iron filings, bond paper or rectangular glass
Presentation
What to do:
1.Hold the bond paper or rectangular glass a little bit higher
from the surface of the table. Spread iron filings on the
middle portion of the glass or bond paper.
2. Let your partner hold a bar magnet below the glass or
bond paper with the iron filings on tip. Be careful not to
stick iron filings to your hands, mouth, and eyes.
Presentation
3. Remove the bar magnet away from the glass or bond
paper. Observe what happens to the iron filings.
4. Repeat step 2. Add more iron filings on top and use two
bar magnets to be placed under the glass or bond paper with
the north pole of the first magnet following the south pole
of the second magnet.
Presentation
5. Repeat step 4 but change the position of the bar magnets.
The north pole of the first magnet follows the north pole of
the second magnet.

Read the story and answer the questions that follow.
One Saturday morning, Claire was doing her homework on Home
Economics subject about the different types of stitches. It was very hard for
her to hold the needles because she might get stabbed by it, so she asked for
the assistance of her mother. Claire’s mother is a dressmaker. That is why it
was easy for her to assist Claire with stitches. Mother asked her to buy more
needles at the store. Claire went back home holding the needles and when she
entered the door, she accidentally dropped the needles on the floor. There were
so many needles scattered on the floor and she was having difficulties in
picking them up.
