This Magnetic and Non-Magnetic investigation resource supports Primary Science learning about forces and magnets through hands-on exploration.

There are 5 worksheets with colour pictures and 5 with black and white pictures.

Children test a variety of everyday objects, make predictions, investigate which materials are attracted to a magnet, and sort items into magnetic and non-magnetic groups.

The activity encourages scientific enquiry skills including observing, testing, comparing, recording results, and drawing simple conclusions.

Children use the recording sheet to organise their findings, helping them develop an understanding of fair testing and evidence gathering. They can draw their findings or cut and paste the pictures onto the sheets.

The resource also links to Mathematics through sorting, classifying, and grouping objects, while supporting Speaking and Listening as children discuss their predictions, explain their observations, share results, and use scientific vocabulary during collaborative investigations.
