The student is expected to describe and predict how a magnet interacts with various materials and how magnets can be used to push or pull.
A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
describe and predict how a magnet interacts with various materials and how magnets can be used to push or pull.
demonstrate and describe forces acting on an object in contact or at a distance, including magnetism, gravity, and pushes and pulls; and
plan and conduct descriptive investigations to explore the patterns of forces such as gravity, friction, or magnetism in contact or at a distance on an object.
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Observable patterns in magnets include the materials they are made of and the forces of attraction and repulsion. Observing these patterns allows objects to be classified as magnetic and nonmagnetic.
Cause and effect relationships are relationships between two or more variables or phenomena whereby one variable or event leads to a predictable response. Events have causes—sometimes simple, sometimes multi-faceted.
An object is pushed or pulled (effect) by the magnetic force between a magnet and an object (cause).
