This resource was made for my Year 8 class, they loved that the learning mat matched the power point and really felt like they were part of the lesson. The lesson covers magnetic materials (with a code breaker starter), it then moves onto a magnet, asking questions in a show what you know style, then an interactive section on what is attracted to magnets and rules of attraction and repelling. We then talk about electromagnets, what they are, how they work, how we can make them, what we do to increase the strength and lastly where electromagnets are used. I love this lesson and it has gone down a treat with my classes. Hope it works for yours too :)
