Phase/Duration Learners Activities Resources
PHASE 1: STARTER Revise with learners on the previous lesson.
Engage the learners by asking questions such as: "What are magnets used for?"
and "How do magnets work?"
Share learning indicators and introduce the lesson.
PHASE 2: NEW Divide the learners into small groups. iron nails,
LEARNING Provide each group with iron nails, paperclips, and screws. paperclips, screws,
small magnetic
Instruct the learners to rub the magnets along one direction on the objects
materials provided. They should repeat this process several times.
Conduct several demonstrations to showcase the power of
magnetic force:
a. Use a compass to demonstrate how a magnet aligns with Earth's
magnetic field.
b. Show how a magnet can attract small metal objects from a
distance.
c. Demonstrate how the poles of magnets repel or attract each
other.
Lead a class discussion on the concept of magnetic force and its
applications in everyday life and industry. Some guiding questions
include:
How can magnetic force be used in domestic activities, such as
hanging up refrigerator magnets or securing cabinet doors?
In what ways is magnetic force used in industrial activities, such
as manufacturing or transportation?
Provide real-world examples to illustrate the applications of
magnetic force, such as:
Magnetic levitation trains (Maglev trains) that use magnetic
force for propulsion.
Electric motors that convert electrical energy into mechanical
energy using magnets.
Magnetic separators used in recycling facilities to separate
magnetic and non-magnetic materials.
Learners demonstrate some application of magnetic force in
domestic and industrial activities (E. g. compass, alarms, loud
speakers, etc.).
Explore other industrial and domestic applications of magnetic
force and present findings.
PHASE 3: Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from
REFLECTION learners what they have learnt during the lesson.
Take feedback from learners and summarize the lesson.

Phase/Duration Learners Activities Resources
PHASE 1: STARTER Begin by reviewing Newton's Second Law of Motion, explaining
that it states that the acceleration of an object is directly
proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to its
mass.
Ask the learners to recall examples of forces they have learned
about, such as gravity or friction.
PHASE 2: NEW Show a magnet to the learners and explain that magnets can exert iron nails,
LEARNING a force on certain materials, causing them to move. paperclips, screws,
small magnetic
Demonstrate the concept by using a magnet to move small metal objects
objects, such as paperclips or toy cars.
Discuss how the magnet's force affects the motion of the objects,
and how the strength of the force can be adjusted by changing the
distance between the magnet and the object.
Divide the learners into small groups.
Provide each group with a toy car and a magnet.
Instruct the learners to place the magnet on the car and observe
the effect on the car's motion as they move the magnet.
Encourage the learners to vary the force applied by adjusting the
distance between the magnet and the car.
Have the learners record their observations and discuss the
relationship between the magnetic force applied and the resulting
acceleration of the car.
Lead a class discussion on the relationship between magnetic force
and Newton's Second Law of Motion.
Explain how the force exerted by the magnet can accelerate or
decelerate an object depending on the direction of the force.
Ask the learners to brainstorm and share real-life examples where
magnetic force and Newton's Second Law of Motion are applied,
such as:
Maglev trains that use magnetic forces to levitate and propel
the train forward.
Electric motors that utilize magnetic forces to convert
electrical energy into mechanical energy.
MRI machines that use powerful magnets to generate images of
the body.
Assessment
Perform an experiment to show the relationship between force
and motion using magnetic force, and the principle of Newton’s
Second Law of Motion.
Materials:
1. A small magnet (such as a neodymium magnet)
2. A flat surface (e.g., table or desk)
3. A piece of string
4. A small object (e.g., a paperclip or a lightweight metal object)
5. A ruler or measuring tape
Procedure:
1. Place the flat surface (table or desk) in a stable position.
2. Tie one end of the string to the small object (paperclip or lightweight metal
object).
3. Position the small magnet on the flat surface, so it is stationary.
4. Place the small object near the magnet without touching it.
5. Mark the initial position of the small object on the flat surface.
6. Gently pull the free end of the string horizontally, so the small object moves
towards the magnet.
7. Observe and record the distance traveled by the small object before it comes
to a stop.
8. Repeat the experiment several times, pulling the string with different
amounts of force each time.
9. Measure and record the distance traveled by the small object for each force
applied.
PHASE 3: Use peer discussion and effective questioning to find out from
REFLECTION learners what they have learnt during the lesson.
