In Science class, grade 4 students learn about:
The Force of Magnetic Attraction
![Page 4: Developing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Skills: THE STUDY OF MAGNETIC FORCE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149e3550346895db70cf8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Magnetic Attraction
• How can the strength of the force of attraction between two magnets be measured?
• How does the distance between two magnets effect the strength of the force of attraction?
![Page 5: Developing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Skills: THE STUDY OF MAGNETIC FORCE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149e3550346895db70cf8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
FOSS Activity:Investigation 1: The Force, Part 3: Breaking the Force
Students in grade 4 investigated the strength of the force of attraction by graphing data to look for patterns of interaction.
![Page 6: Developing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Skills: THE STUDY OF MAGNETIC FORCE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149e3550346895db70cf8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Students use a balance and large washers to measure the force of attraction between two magnets.
![Page 7: Developing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Skills: THE STUDY OF MAGNETIC FORCE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149e3550346895db70cf8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
They learn what happens to the force of attraction as the distance between the two magnets increases.

Students graph their results.

Engineering is Elementary
In Engineering lab, grade 4 students learn about:
The Force of Magnetic Repulsion
![Page 12: Developing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Skills: THE STUDY OF MAGNETIC FORCE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149e3550346895db70cf8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Magnetic Repulsion
• How can you make one magnet levitate above the other?
• Why are the magnets levitating?
• Why do you think adding more magnets affects how high they levitate?
![Page 13: Developing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Skills: THE STUDY OF MAGNETIC FORCE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149e3550346895db70cf8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Engineering is Elementary activity:Lesson 3, A magnetic personality
Students in grade 4 engineering lab learned that increasing the magnetic field can intensify the magnetic forces of repulsion. They learn that non-magnetic materials do no affect magnetic fields.

Students observe, test and record results of levitating magnets.
![Page 15: Developing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Skills: THE STUDY OF MAGNETIC FORCE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149e3550346895db70cf8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Students use a ruler to measure the height of the top of the magnet(s) above the table.
![Page 16: Developing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Skills: THE STUDY OF MAGNETIC FORCE](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568149e3550346895db70cf8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Students list three properties of magnets they observed during the magnetic levitation investigation and explain how each property helped levitate the magnets.
