WHCPS Y3 Science Forces and Magnets

What happens to magnets when they 'attract'?

• The force pushes the magnets away from each other.

• The force pulls magnets towards each other.

• The magnets remain the same distance apart.

• I'm not sure.

What happens to magnets when they 'repel'?

• The force pulls magnets towards each other.

• The magnets remain the same distance apart.

• The force pushes magnets away from each other.

• I'm not sure.

What does 'magnetic' mean?

• Something that can float in water.

• Something that is attracted to a magnet causing it to 'stick' together.

• Something that is really shiny and reflective.

• I'm not sure.

What is 'friction'?

• A force that slows things down when they rub together.

• A force that makes things move faster.

• A force that pulls objects towards the ground.

• I'm not sure.

What is 'gravity'?

• A force that makes objects float in the air in space.

• A force that makes objects spin around.

• A force that pulls objects towards the ground.

• I'm not sure.

What is 'air resistance'?

• A force that slows objects down as they move through the air.

• A force that pulls objects towards the ground.

• A force that makes things go faster through the air.

• I'm not sure.

What does 'non-magnetic' mean?

• Something that will stick to a magnet.

• Something made from metal.

• Something that will not stick to a magnet.

• I'm not sure.

What is a 'force'?

• When you make someone do something they don't want to.

• A push or pull that can make something move.

• The power that makes objects float in water.

• I'm not sure.

What does 'pole' mean, when we are talking about magnets?

• The middle part of the magnet.

• The ends of a magnet where the force is at it's strongest.

• The shiny part of the magnet.

• I'm not sure.

What does the term 'magnetic field' mean?

• The invisible area around a magnet where its force can push or pull things.

• The part of the magnet where it is not magnetic.

• The area inside a magnet where all metal is stored.

• I'm not sure.
