Forces and Magnets

Project Overview

This companion project teaches children about contact and non-contact forces, including friction and magnetism. They investigate magnets and magnetic materials, exploring how they behave in relation to their poles.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy โ€“ Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express โ€“ to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
