III-LESSON PROPER
ELICIT
What happens when you place a magnet near an iron nail? What happens when you
increase the distance between the magnet and the iron nail?
Contextualization: The answers to the above questions will be based on the
students’ experiences.
ENGAGE
Show a compass to the students and ask them what kind of a device it is. What is its
use? Let students demonstrate how to use a compass.
Interdisciplinary (Araling Panlipunan): Ask students the geographical location of
a place using a compass.
EXPLORE
Let students perform the following activity:
PART A: North Meets South
1. Checking Polarity: Place one magnetic compass on a horizontal surface.
Then, move a bar magnet around and above it exploring the strength and
polarities of the magnet. If a cellular phone or any gadget with built in camera
is available, take pictures of the magnetic compass needle orientations for
different locations around the bar magnet. Draw the compass needle
directions and write your observations regarding the magnetic field strength
on your science notebook and answer the guide questions.
Part B: By the Touch of a Magnet
1. Magnetization by Stroking. Pour iron filings on a sheet of paper and check
whether the filings are still non-magnetized. If magnetized, stir or move the
iron filings gently on the paper.
2. Fill carefully the narrow test tube up to a quarter with these iron filings. Cover
with masking tape or cork.
3. Hold the closed test tube horizontally. Shake or roll gently with your fingers
to level out the iron filings inside.

Figure 2a. Leveling the Iron Filings inside the Test Tube
4. Then when levelled, touch with the north-pole end of the permanent magnet
the test tube’s curved end. Move the magnet along the test tube from this
end to the covered end. Lift the magnet off the test tube and repeat with
ten or more strokes. On your science notebook, observe and record what
happens inside the tube.
5. Gently lay the test tube on a table and bring compasses near both ends of the
test tube as shown in Figure 2.b below. Observe and record what happens.

Figure 2b. Testing Induced Magnetism on the Iron Filings

 6. Carefully shake the test tube as shown in Figure 2.c, without moving the
compasses. Test for the presence of magnetism again. Record your
observations.

Figure 2c. Shaking the Iron Filings inside the Test Tube
EXPLAIN
Each group will explain their answers to the guide questions.
Q16. What happens when you randomly move the bar magnet roundabout and
above the compass one foot or farther? Nearer than a foot?
Q17. Compass needles are tiny magnets that are free to indicate the north and south
poles of a magnet. What do you need to know the magnet’s polarities?
Q18. What does the compass needles indicate about the iron nail shown below in
Figure 1?

Figure 1. Use of Compass Needles for Checking Magnetism

Q19. In step no 4, are the iron filings in the test tube magnetized? If yes, which end
is the north and which is the south? If no, what else can be done to magnetize it? Try
and record your idea.
Q20. What happened to the iron filings magnetism after several shakes?
ELABORATE
Can you also magnetize an iron nail by stroking? Do a quick activity to know the
answer for yourself.
What will happen to a magnet if it is dropped too often?
