Magnets inspire movement in this fun Key Stage 2 lesson starter as Year 3 pupils explore the properties of magnets to create dances.
Dance becomes a cross-curricular as the pupils at Deansfield School in Eltham, London, explore the features of magnetism: push, pull, repel, attract.
Pupils are encouraged to think about the special properties and movements of magnets, such as what happens when opposite and the same ends of magnets come together.
This lesson starter can be used to explore and reiterate a basic understanding of magnetism.
