Learning outcomes Children: • given a magnet of unfamiliar shape,or with unlabelled ends, demonstrate how it is attracted to,or repelled by,another magnet; • generalise about what happens when magnets are put near one another or together,using scientific terms,e.g.attract,repel; • classify a range of materials, including metals as magnetic or non-magnetic,and explain how their work enabled them to do this; • make a generalisation about magnetic behaviour,e.g.iron is magnetic but other metals are not; materials that are not metals are not magnetic;only some metals are magnetic.
