Magnetism (6th Grade)

Good afternoon!

Magnetism is our current learning topic. 6th Grade pupils are experimenting with this force and trying to understand how it works.

Last week we learnt what the magnetic field is: an area around a magnet in which there is a magnetic force. There are invisible lines that go from the north pole of a magnet to the south pole (or the opposite).

By performing an experiment, we could see these invisible magnetic field lines. All we did was spreading out some iron fillings onto a paper, which was laid on a bar magnet. Then, we gently tapped on the paper and...

The next day, we created some temporary magnets:

Hello 6th grade!

Here there is a selection of your temporary magnets (Remember: metallic objects that get magnetic properties when they are in direct contact with a magnet).

Beautiful sculptures!!! :)

Magnetism activities (6th Grade)

Hello everyone!

In 6th grade, we are experimenting with magnets. We had some entertaining lessons, in which we could explore the interesting world of magnetism.

We saw, drew and used magnets of different shapes:

We recognized the two different magnetic poles every magnet has, North and South, and we realized that if we put two magnets together, they can ATTRACT or REPEL. Opposite poles attract; the same poles repel.

ATTRACT:

REPEL:

We could also see the magnetic field lines after spreading out some iron fillings onto a paper, which was laid on a bar magnet.

We couldn't avoid playing with the iron fillings for a while... ;)

Magnetism videos (6th Grade)

Hello children!

You can watch the following Magnetism Videos at home, in order to revise what we learned in class:

Science and Technology in Terres de Ponent High School (6th grade)

Hello, how are you?

Two weeks ago, we participated in the 2nd Science and Technology Cycle, organised by Terres de Ponent High School, here in Mollerussa.

We want to thank all the teachers and students involved in this project. We took active part in activities related to electricity and electromagnets, which were very interesting, motivating and perfectly designed.

In fact, Electricity and Magnets are going to be our next contents to study, and this made the Cycle even more interesting for us!
