Here are some worksheet ideas about magnetism for year 7 students:

  1. Magnetic Materials: Provide a list of different materials and ask students to classify them as magnetic or non-magnetic. They can also explain why they made each classification.

  2. Magnetic Poles: Show diagrams of magnets and ask students to label the North and South poles. Then, provide a list of scenarios and ask them to predict how the magnets will interact based on their poles.

  3. Magnetic Fields: Provide a diagram of a magnet and ask students to draw the magnetic field lines around it. They can also explain how the field lines indicate the strength and direction of the magnetic field.

  4. Electromagnets: Provide a diagram of an electromagnet and ask students to label its components (coil, core, battery, etc.). Then, ask them to explain how an electromagnet works and provide examples of its applications.

  5. Magnetic Force: Provide a list of objects and ask students to predict whether they will be attracted or repelled by a magnet. They can also explain the factors that affect the strength of the magnetic force.

  6. Magnetic Induction: Show a diagram of a coil and a magnet, and ask students to explain how moving the magnet inside the coil can induce an electric current. They can also describe the applications of magnetic induction in everyday life.

  7. Magnetic Compass: Provide a diagram of a compass and ask students to explain how it works based on Earth’s magnetic field. They can also describe how a compass can be used for navigation.

  8. Magnetic Levitation: Show a picture or video of a magnetic levitation experiment and ask students to explain the principles behind it. They can also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using magnetic levitation in transportation systems.

  9. Magnetic Storage: Provide a list of different storage devices (hard drives, floppy disks, etc.) and ask students to explain how magnetism is used for data storage. They can also discuss the limitations and future developments in magnetic storage technology.

  10. Magnetic Pollution: Discuss the concept of magnetic pollution and its potential effects on the environment and human health. Ask students to brainstorm ways to minimize magnetic pollution in everyday life.

Remember to adjust the difficulty level and content of the worksheets according to the specific curriculum and abilities of your year 7 students.
