Investigating Magnetism: What are Magnets and Why Do They Attract or Repel? part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a classroom lab in which students observe and investigate how magnets interact with each other and the objects around them.

Exploring Magnetism: Investigating the forces of magnets part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a classroom and lab investigation of magnetism. Students gather results of experiments involving the forces of magnets. They use this data to develop their own experiments to test properties of magnets.

Discovering the "Hidden" Properties of Magnets part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
Students will become familiar with the properties of magnets. They will design a data collection sheet to show where magnets are hidden in a closed box with their explanation of their findings. They will also design a game or activity using magnets and present their activity to the class.

Mother Nature's Funnest Play Things: Magnets part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
These two activities are just a small part of overall fun students will have in discovering the wonders of magnets and how they apply to us every day.

Investigating Magnetism part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a lab investigation where students work in groups to develop their own electromagnets.

Detect a Magnet's Field part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a physics lab to detect a magnet's field.

Investigating Iron-Fortified Food part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection

Charles' Law and Ivory Soap part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a 2 part lab activity where students record properties of various bars of soap, and make models of molecules as they are cooled or heated. Students develop a new experiment changing one variable.

Iron in my cereal part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a hands on activity where students will gather information on their findings about iron in different cereals. Then use their finding and give reasonings of the differences and similarities.

Investigating Changes of State: Chemical and Physical Changes part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
In this activity students explore and identify chemical and physical changes by observing a variety of changes in matter in lab stations and through the making of butter and pancakes.
