The force produced by a magnet reaches some distance from the magnet.This is why a paperclip placed one or two centimeters from a magnet will jump towards it.The pattern in which the force reaches through space is called a magnetic field.Your students will see this pattern by sprinkling iron filings on a piece of paper over a magnet.This lesson plan consists of magnetic artwork, and two experiments involving magnetic strength and blocking magnets.Teacher notes and answer key included.
