Process (How to do the activity)

Give the magnets to students and check the properties of magnets. Ask the students properties of magnets. Give two magnets and a magnetic needle to students group (4-5students). Tell check the properties of magnets.
Ask magnetic lines of force using phet tool of magnets and electromagnet.

Developmental Questions (What discussion questions)

1. What is magnet?
2. Is magnet attracts all materials?
3. What we say the material which are attracted by magnet?
4. If not attracted by magnet?
5. In which direction bar magnet rest when freely suspended it. or magnetic needle or Mariner's compass.
6. Recognize the north and south poles of magnet.
7. Is north-north or south-south attracted?
8. Is north-south repelled?
9. What happened when kept the bar magnet near the magnetic needle or mariner's compass?

Evaluation (Questions)
