Next week we will be planning and carrying out a test to find out about the strength of magnets.

There are several different methods you can use to test the strength of a magnet. Can you think of any ways ? 

Have a look at the two worksheets saved below. In each one, a different method is used to test which is the strongest magnet. In the first example a force meter is used which you might not have seen. We will look at these next week in school. 

Answer the questions on the worksheets. 

Then I would like you to think about some questions you could investigate about the strength of magnets 

for example:

Are big magnets stronger than small magnets?

Write your questions down, ready to share in our next science lesson.
