Magnets and Engineering Design
Grade 3 - Science - On Level

Investigation 292: what happens in this magnet test: paper clip near a magnet?
- not attracted
- no visible change
- repel
- attracted
Investigation 334: which material or object is being tested for magnetic behavior in "wood block near a magnet"?
- wood block
- two magnets
- steel paper clip
- aluminum foil
Investigation 339: which design choice fits the evidence "repel" for two magnets?
- use a nonmagnetic spacer as the solution
- turn one magnet around
- ignore which poles face each other
- keep the same poles facing
Investigation 680: why should engineers test materials or pole arrangements such as steel paper clip before building a magnetic tool?
- pole direction never affects results
- all tested materials respond the same way
- one material test proves every design
- different tests can show attraction, repulsion, or no attraction
Investigation 202: which question would first test magnetic behavior for two magnets?
- Does the material attract, repel, or not respond?
- Can the result be chosen before testing?
- Should every material be treated the same?
- Which observation should be ignored?
Investigation 764: what happens in this magnet test: iron nail near a magnet?
- repel
- attracted
- not attracted
- no visible change
Investigation 196: which material or object is being tested for magnetic behavior in "iron nail near a magnet"?
- iron nail
- wood block
- aluminum foil
- two magnets
Investigation 507: which design choice fits the evidence "attract" for two magnets?
- assume every pole pair repels
- keep two north poles facing
- place opposite poles together
- separate the magnets before testing
Investigation 661: why should engineers test materials or pole arrangements such as two magnets before building a magnetic tool?
- one material test proves every design
- pole direction never affects results
- different tests can show attraction, repulsion, or no attraction
- all tested materials respond the same way
Investigation 400: which question would first test magnetic behavior for wood block?
- Which observation should be ignored?
- Does the material attract, repel, or not respond?
- Should every material be treated the same?
- Can the result be chosen before testing?
