Key Vocabulary: attract, repel, north and south poles, predict, force field, visible, invisible
Goals and Aim
1. Using the bar magnets, experiment putting north and south poles together, see where they
attract and where they repel
2. Predict and test which part of the magnet is the strongest : north, middle or south
3. Study three different magnets, predict and test which is the strongest.
4. Students will learn about Invisible/Visible force fields
5. Students will participate in discussion
6. Students will cooperate and work together in a group setting
Objectives
1. Students will demonstrate an understanding of north and south poles by predicting and
testing
2. Magnets
3. Students will demonstrate an understanding of prediction
4. Students will co-operate and work together
5. Students will demonsrate their understanding of force fields by filling in their
worksheets, and completing the activity
6. Students will participate by answering questions, and making observations
7. Students will demonstrate working cooperatively in groups by sharing materials
Materials
- bar magnets
- paper clips
Procedures
A. IntroductionDraw upon and reflect on previous knowledge of magnets from previous lessons and from
previous centers they have just visited. Introduce opposites and like sides and how they relate to
magnets.

This center will focus on looking at the invisible force field that magnets have around them. You
can feel the force when you hold a steel object close to a magnet and try to pull it away. The
force becomes weaker when you hold the object further away.
Gunakan & refleksikan dg pngetahuan sblmny tntg magnet2 dri materi & titik pusat sblmny,
magnet2 trsbt bru saja diperkenalkan & slg bertolak blakang antar sisi & bgaimana agar mgnet
trsbt slg tarik menarik.
Pusat ini akan fokus pada sejauh usaha abstrak magnet di sekitar mrka. Kmu dpt mrasakan
tarikan ktka magnet mnyentuh besi. Dan magnet2 trsbt akn mnarik. Daya tarik mnarik akan
melemah ktka kamu mmgang objek trsbt dri jauh.
B. DevelopmentHave the students divide into two groups, one group will work on attraction and repelling
activity, the other group will work on the magnet strength activity. Have the groups switch once
they are each complete.
Bagilah para siswa menjadi dua kelompok, kelompok yang pertama akan melakukan penelitian
mengenai daya tarik dan daya tolak, sedangkan kelompok yang lainnya akan melakukan
penelitian mengenai kekuata nmagnet. Setelah itu kedua kelompok bertukar tempat untuk
melakukan penelitian yang lainnya.
In the small group, demonstrate how magnets pull together. Have the students pass around
magnets so they can feel and understand the pull for themselves.
Pada kelompok kecil, mendemonstrasikan bagaimana magnet saling tarik menarik
C. PracticeHave the students make predictions as a group before they start the activity.
Demonstrate how each activity is done before they begin.
As a group, their will be a demonstration of putting two magnets a little bit apart underneath a
white piece of paper. Then add iron filings on top so the students can observe how the magnets
will pull together, and the iron filings will show the force field. this experiment makes the
invisible force field become visible to the students.
Sebagai kelompok, mereka akan menjadi demonstrasi menempatkan dua magnet sedikit terpisah
di bawah selembar kertas putih. Kemudian tambahkan serbuk besi di atas sehingga para siswa
dapat mengamati bagaimana magnet akan menarik bersama-sama, dan serbuk besi akan

menunjukkan medan gaya. Percobaan ini membuat medan kekuatan tak terlihat menjadi terlihat
kepada siswa.
D. Independent PracticeStudents will complete each activity and fill in the sections of their worksheet that correspond to
the activity
Students will also write and reflect something new they learned in their magnet journals
Students will be able to try putting the iron filings on the paper to observe the force field for
themselves.
They will then fill out the corresponding worksheet, and write what they have learned in their
magnet journals.
Siswa akan menyelesaikan setiap kegiatan dan mengisi bagian lembar kerja mereka yang sesuai
dengan aktivitas
Siswa juga akan menulis dan mencerminkan sesuatu yang baru mereka pelajari dalam jurnal
magnet mereka
Siswa akan dapat mencoba menempatkan serbuk besi di atas kertas untuk mengamati medan
gaya untuk diri mereka sendiri.
Mereka kemudian akan mengisi lembar kerja yang sesuai, dan menulis apa yang telah mereka
pelajari dalam jurnal magnet mereka.
F. Checking for understandingHave a group discussion based on their results and predictions of each activity.
Check the students work sheets to see that they have filled out all the information.
Check to see each student has written in their magnet journals
diskusi kelompok berdasarkan hasil dan prediksi setiap kegiatan mereka.
Periksa lembar kerja siswa untuk melihat bahwa mereka telah mengisi semua informasi.
Periksa untuk melihat setiap siswa telah ditulis dalam jurnal magnet mereka
G. ClosureDiscuss as a group what new things they learned about magnets before they move on to the next
center.
Discuss as a group what new things they have learned about magnets, both at this magnet center
and from previous lessons

penutupan
Diskusikan sebagai kelompok apa hal-hal baru yang mereka pelajari tentang magnet sebelum
mereka pindah ke pusat berikutnya.
Diskusikan sebagai kelompok apa hal-hal baru yang telah mereka pelajari tentang magnet, baik
di pusat magnet ini dan dari pelajaran sebelumnya
EvaluationCheck each students worksheets for accuracy, and check the students journals to see their
progress and to check to see that they have a grasp on the concepts.
Check each students work sheets to see that they are completed and are accurate and check their
journals to see that they are reflecting on what they have learned, and that they understand the
concepts.

Periksa setiap siswa lembar kerja untuk akurasi, dan memeriksa jurnal siswa untuk melihat
kemajuan mereka dan untuk memeriksa untuk melihat bahwa mereka memiliki pemahaman
tentang
konsep-konsep.
Periksa setiap siswa bekerja lembar untuk melihat bahwa mereka selesai dan akurat dan periksa
jurnal mereka untuk melihat bahwa mereka merefleksikan apa yang telah dipelajari, dan bahwa
mereka memahami konsep-konsep
ReflectionAs a teacher I needed to control the noise level and disturbances from students better. Some of
the magnets broke from a result of students not using the magnets appropriately, next time I
should monitor the students and make sure they know how to use the magnets appropriately so
this does not happen. Also when I first ran this station I did not explain the activities before
separating them into groups which caused confusion, I fixed this for the next group. Overall the
station ran smoothly and the students seemed to enjoy both activities.
This center was more group focused, and all the students were together cooperatively and
participated in discussion.
Overall, the students seemed to enjoy this magnet center, and seemed to take away the main
concepts.
Sebagai guru saya butuhkan untuk mengontrol tingkat kebisingan dan gangguan dari siswa yang
lebih baik. Beberapa magnet pecah dari hasil siswa tidak menggunakan magnet tepat, lain kali
aku harus memantau siswa dan memastikan mereka tahu bagaimana menggunakan magnet tepat

sehingga hal ini tidak terjadi. Juga ketika saya pertama kali berlari stasiun ini saya tidak
menjelaskan kegiatan sebelum memisahkan mereka ke dalam kelompok-kelompok yang
menyebabkan kebingungan, saya tetap ini untuk kelompok berikutnya. Secara keseluruhan
stasiun
berjalan
lancar
dan
siswa
tampak
menikmati
kedua
kegiatan.
Pusat ini lebih terfokus kelompok, dan semua siswa bersama-sama secara kooperatif dan
berpartisipasi dalam diskusi.
Secara keseluruhan, para siswa tampak menikmati pusat magnet ini, dan tampaknya mengambil
konsep utama.
