Objective:
SWBAT explore the movement of magnetic and explain the conditions necessary for magnets to move closer together or farther apart.
Do Now:
Question 1
1.
In this unit, you will learn about why magnets move objects in different ways, including launching an object into space at different speeds.
Record your initial thinking about the questions below. How do you think a magnet can cause something to move?
Guided Notes:

: Amplify Science
Question 2
2.
How do you think the launcher can make the spacecraft move without touching it?
Question 3
3.
Why do you think the spacecraft’s speed was different on the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday launches?
Focus Task:
Why did the spacecraft go so much faster than expected on Wednesday?
Claim 1:
The Magnets were misaligned on Tuesday
Claim 2:
Much more energy was in the launcher system on Wednesday than on Tuesday
Claim 3:
The Magnetic force was stronger on Wednesday than on Tuesday.

Question 4
4.
Test 1: Place two parallel weak magnets 5 points away from each other so that red on top for each.
What happens to each Magnet?
Question 5
5.
Test 2: Place two parallel weak magnets 2points away from each other so that red on top for each.
What happens to each magnet and how is it different from test 1?
Question 6
6.
Test 3: Place two parallel weak magnets 5 points away from each other so that red on top for one, and blue on top for the second.
What happens to each Magnet?
Question 7
7.
Test 4: How do weak and strong magnets work when tested with aluminum, iron, and wood?
Aluminum (metal):
Iron (metal):
Wood (non-metal):
"The magnet caused the ___ to move, but did not move the ___"
Exit Ticket:
Question 8
