Exploring Magnetism: Engaging 1st Grade Students

Introduce students to magnetism through activities like forming hypotheses, noting results, and making models. Discover how magnets work in daily life and attract certain materials, and explore interactions between magnets. Engage students with hands-on projects, such as creating animated characters using magnetism. Validate learning outcomes in different grade levels to tailor the educational experience.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Attraction! LES FOR THE 1ST CYCLE

  2. Pedagogical Intention • Initiate the student to: • What magnetism is; • Elaborating an hypothesis; • Noting results; • Formulating a conclusion; • Making a model.

  3. Activity 1 • Discovering that the magnet can exert its influence through various materials. • Adequately define and situate the hypothesis with the students.

  4. Activity 1 - Hypotheses

  5. Activity 1- continued - Hypotheses

  6. Activity 2 • Discover the usefulness of magnets in everyday life.

  7. Activity 3 • Discover by experimentation, that magnets attract objects that contain iron, nickel or cobalt.

  8. Activity 4 • Discover the interaction between two magnets and visualise what a magnetic field is (at the discretion of the teacher). Video Images drawn from: http://www.sciencetech.technomuses.ca/francais/schoolzone/basesuraimant.cfm#whatare

  9. Activity 5 • Initiate the students to fabrication. • Make an animated character using magnetism. • The activity requires some materials preparation on the teacher’s part. • Particular attention is paid to foreseeable difficulties in the teacher’s guide.

  10. Activity 5

  11. The students in action

  12. Activity 6 • Discover that magnets have different powers of attraction.

  13. Validation • Situation experienced in two 1st grade classes: weekly visits The fifth activity was more difficult: less concentration and motivation. • Situation experienced in a 2nd grade class: daily visits The fifth activity was easier.

  14. Thanks! • To the 1st grade students at école Fernand-Seguin and the 2nd grade class of école Édouard-Laurin as well as to Nathalie Chartrand and Colombe Habel.
