Equipment is distributed around the room as per the equipment on each of the activities. Pupils are split into groups and given 5-10 minutes at each station to carry out the experiment as per the instructions and evaluate how good it is at testing the strength if magnet. Pupils will be able to talk about ( in their own words) judgement, reliability, accuracy and wether or not these are fair tests - all whilst reinforcing their experiences with magnets. I print and laminate the sheets and add my own diagrams with marker to suit the equipment available in the particular school/lesson.
