. The student will investigate and understand that natural and artificial magnets have certain characteristics and attract specific types of metals. Key concepts include a) magnetism, iron, magnetic/nonmagnetic, poles, attract/repel; and b) important applications of magnetism including the magnetic compass. || 2. Communication and collaboration 3. Research and information fluency 4. Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making 6. Technology operations and concepts The student will learn that magnets have 2 poles (north and south). The students will learn about the terms attraction and repel. The student will also learn the connection between a compass and magnetism. || Pencil || Objects that are attracted to magnets (mainly paperclips) || The students will be exploring using magnets throughout the classroom and they will be able to work independently or with a partner. When they return to their seats to record their observations in their science notebooks, they will again work independently. After everyone is finished recording their observations, the students will be sharing their observations with a partner. Throughout the SMART board lesson and the song portion, the students will be seated at their desks. || The teacher will observe the students as they explore the magnets and check for understanding throughout the lesson. P Those students who have difficulty writing, will be able to illustrate their observations. P The teacher will check for understanding that different magnets have varying strengths by observing the students interacting with one another throughout the exploration time. The teacher will also check for understanding of magnetic vs. non-magnetic objects with the SMART board lesson that will be completed in class. P My students love to work with magnets! They are excited to learn more and do our next investigation in the classroom. || .

Research and information fluency4. Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making6. Technology operations and concepts Instructional Objectives: The students will learn the everyday uses of magnets. The students will learn how to use the epals website properly ([]). The students will learn to collaborate with students from other classrooms all over the world. || Prior to the lesson, the students will review the K-W-L chart that we have created in the classroom on magnets. The students will add any new information to the “L” section of the chart. || [] || Computer and Internet SMART board || The students will ask questions about how magnets are used around the world. The students will view responses given. The students will then brainstorm a new topic for discussion about magnets. || Computer and Internet || The students will sing the magnet song as a group. The students will work as a group as they view the magnet website. The students will work individually as they worked on the epals website. || The teacher will observe the students as they explore the epals website. Accommodations and Extensions: Those that have difficulty generating a question for the online collaboration tool will be able to work with a partner in order to discuss and brainstorm ideas. Back-Up Plan: In case of a bad internet connection and no computer usage, the students will create a flip book about magnets. This book will include information learned in class (attraction, repel, everyday uses, strength of magnets, etc.). The students will draw a picture and write sentences for each flap on their flip book. || LESSON REFLECTIONS AND NOTES: The students have loved learning about magnets. ||
