What objectives does this worksheet meet?
Core
- I can describe the forces between magnetic poles, and between magnets and magnetic materials, using the terms north pole (N pole), south pole (S pole), attraction and repulsion, magnetised and unmagnetised.
- I can describe induced magnetism.
- I can state how the properties of temporary magnets (made of soft iron) differ from the properties of permanent magnets (made of steel).
- I can state the difference between magnetic materials and non-magnetic materials.
- I can describe a magnetic field as a region in which a magnetic pole experiences a force.
- I can draw the pattern and direction of the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet.
- I can state that the direction of a magnetic field at a point is the direction of the force on the N pole of a magnet placed at that point.
- I can describe how magnetic field lines are plotted with a compass or with iron filings, and how a compass is used to find the direction of the magnetic field.
- I can describe the uses of permanent magnets and of electromagnets.
Extended
- I know that the spacing of the magnetic field lines shows the relative strength of a magnetic field.
