Opposites Attract: Forces act on Objects at a Distance
Students use magnets to investigate how unseen forces can act on an object. Students explore with magnets and work to design an investigation and create a model and explanation for how forces act on an object. This lesson is a good introductory lesson for students working on the SEP of Asking Questions, Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, Developing Models, and Using Mathematical and Computational Thinking skills. Students will be using Cross-Cutting Concepts of Cause and Effect.
