Menu - SCN 2-08a

I have collaborated in investigations to compare magnetic, electrostatic and gravitational forces and have explored their practical applications.

SCN 2-08a

Benchmarks:

· Measures gravitational force with a force meter or newton meter and records results using appropriate units (newtons).

· Explains how some objects may become electrically charged by rubbing two surfaces together and how the charges produce an electrostatic force.

· Investigates and demonstrates understanding that magnetic and electrostatic forces can both repel and attract.

· Describes practical applications of magnetic, electrostatic and gravitational forces, for example, magnetised needle in a compass.

Exploring magnets - Physics narrativeA Physics Narrative presents a storyline, showing a coherent path through a topic. The storyline developed here provides a series of coherent and rigorous explanations, while also providing insights into the teaching and learning challenges. It is aimed at teachers but at a level that could be used with students.

Exploring magnets - Teaching and learning issuesThe Teaching and Learning Issues presented here explain the challenges faced in teaching a particular topic. The evidence for these challenges are based on: research carried out on the ways children think about the topic; analyses of thinking and learning research; research carried out into the teaching of the topics; and, good reflective practice. The challenges are presented with suggested solutions. There are also teaching tips which seek to distil some of the accumulated wisdom.

Exploring magnets - teaching approachesA Teaching Approach is both a source of advice and an activity that respects both the physics narrative and the teaching and learning issues for a topic.
