Lesson
1 Magnetic Force
Good day! Do you know that magnets have been known for
centuries and used by many different cultures throughout this
time? You do not usually see them or know they are working, but
magnets power almost everything you use in your regular life. They
are objects that attract certain metals. In fact, magnets are one of
the fundamental forces in nature and is indeed incredibly
important. Do you want to know more about magnets? This
module will give you information about magnets.
Please be ready for more exciting adventure. Good luck and
happy learning!
What’s In
Great! Get ready for more. This time, you will know
more about magnets by performing these activities.

What’s New
What to do:
1. To make a fishing rod, tie the magnet to one end of a yarn
and tie the small stick on the other end of the yarn.
2. Place the materials inside a box.
3. Fish out the materials one by
one using the suspended
magnet tied at the end of the
yarn.
4. List down the materials
attracted by the magnet.
5. List down the materials which cannot be attracted by the
magnet.
4 CO_Q3_Science 4_ Module 2
Guide Questions:
1. What material/s is/are attracted by the magnet? What are these
materials made of?
2. What material/s is/are not attracted by the magnet? What are
these materials made of?
3. What does this mean about the materials attracted or not
attracted to magnets?
What to do:
1. Identify the north pole (N) and the
south pole (S) at the ends of the bar
magnets.
2. Place the two bar magnets on the
table 5 cm away from each. Both the
north poles of each magnet should
be facing each other. Observe what
happens as you try moving one
magnet closer to the other.
3. Repeat Step 2 but with both south poles of the bar magnets
facing each other. Observe what happens as you try moving
one magnet closer to the other magnet.
4. Repeat Step 2 with the north pole and the south pole of the
bar magnets facing each other. Observe what happens as you
try moving one magnet closer to the other magnet.
5. Illustrate the direction of the movement of the magnets for
Step 2, 3 and 4 using arrows.
5 CO_Q3_Science 4_ Module 2
Guide Questions:
1. What happened to the magnets when similar poles were
brought closer to each other?
2. What happened to the magnets when dissimilar poles were
brought closer to each other?
3. What general statement can be formulated?
What to do:
1. Make your own floating paper clip by clamping a bar magnet
vertically.
2. Tie a paper clip to a thread and tape
the other end of the thread to the
base of the stand, such that the clip
is still help up by the magnet, but
leaving a gap between the two.
3. Slide on the gap between the paper clip and the magnet on
the following materials one at a time: iron nail, plastic ruler,
wooden ruler and index card. Observe what will happen to
the paper clip each time.
6 CO_Q3_Science 4_ Module 2
Guide Questions:
1. What material/s could be slid through the gap without
dropping the paper clip?
2. What material/s will definitely “cut” out the magnetic force?
3. What does it say about magnetic force?
7 CO_Q3_Science 4_ Module 2
What is It
Points to Remember:
● Magnets have an invincible magnetic field. Magnets will not
attract all kinds of metals. Only objects made of iron, cobalt
and nickel will be attracted to magnets.
8 CO_Q3_Science 4_ Module 2
● When the poles of the two magnets are
placed near each other, they have a force
that will either pull them together or push
them apart. The push and pull of a
magnet is called the magnetic force.
● If the poles of a magnet are the same and placed near each
other, then they will be pushed away or will repel each other.
Either both south poles or both north poles will result to
repulsion (like poles repel).
Good job! I hope you got all the concepts. You may
now proceed to the next activities. Good luck!
