The Magnet Experiments for Kids is packed with experiments to practice a variety of science skills from classifying, sorting, making predictions, and more. All the while, you get to explore and learn with the different hands on activities while helping to creating a future scientist.
Why is teaching science important for Preschool…
First, learning to classify, sort, observe, and make predictions is part of everyday life.
Next, Science is all around us from mixing paint colors, cooking, or playing outside. You can incorporate science into everyday fun.
Lastly, skills learned through experiments and exploration are cumulative so your child will continue to build on what they know and learn.
Looking for the manipulatives we used with our Magnet Science Unit? We’ve collected all the links for you in one easy place, and we may even get a small commission when you buy through these links. It’s a great way to support our blog at no cost to you.
AND…
Our Laminator and Laminating Sheets.
Use the Magnet anchor chart in your classroom or homeschool area to learn about the different attributes of magnets and their functions.
How strong is your magnet? Test its strength and see how many it of an object it can pull, repel or attract.
Kids will have a blast gathering the different items listed and see if magnets will connect through those items. You can even use different size and shapes of magnets to see if those attract differently through objects.
Using the items listed, make predictions about what you think will be magnetic or not. Then, test the different items and observe your predictions.
Learn how to make predictions and record your data about how different objects will repel or not repel. Were you right or wrong in your ideas?
Grab your magnet and try picking up the object shown on the card. Count how many you were able to pick up and show that number with a toy number or by writing it in the box.
This activity is excellent for hand eye coordination and we all love a fun game to play!
This science experiment will show you how to make different objects magnetic and record the outcome.
