Recommended for Grade 3 (1) Matter and Materials Strand In these "Hands-On Science and Technology" manuals students will focus on materials that are magnetic and those that can hold an electric charge. They will investigate the ways in which different materials affect magnetic strength and electric charge, that every magnet has two poles and that the strength of a magnet depends on the types and combinations of the various materials from which it is made. Students will also describe their observations of static electricity and the conditions that affect it. (2) The Energy & Control Strand This strand introduces students to two types of forces and the effects of these forces. The first type of force involves pushes and pulls, or direct interaction. The second type involves interaction at a distance, such as magnetic or static electric forces. The students will explore the effects of different forces including muscular force, magnetism, static electricity, and gravitational force. Students will investigate ways in which forces create movement in objects and will expand their understanding by designing and making devices that use a form of energy to create controlled movement.
