Electric and Magnetic Forces - FREE Video Worksheet - Physical Science Activity

In this video, you'll explore two of the most fascinating forces in physics: electric forces and magnetic forces. You'll find out what makes them stronger or weaker, and you'll discover the concept that explains how forces can reach across empty space...fields! [Preview this free video here on YouTube] Learning Standards: This video aligns with 🎯 NGSS standards MS-PS2-3 (factors affecting electric and magnetic force strength) and 🎯 MS-PS2-5 (fields as an explanation for forces at a distance). Perfect for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade physical science students. TEKS Addressed for Science: 🎯 Middle School: 6.7.A - The student is expected to identify and explain how forces act on objects, including gravity, friction, magnetism, applied forces, and normal forces, using real-world applications. 🎯 PHYS.6.A - The student is expected to...predict how the magnitude of the electric force between two objects depends on their charge and the distance between their centers using Coulomb's law 🎯 PHYS.6.B - The student is expected to identify and describe examples of electric and magnetic forces and fields in everyday life such as generators, motors, and transformers ⭐ What's Covered?: ✅ What electric and magnetic forces are and how they're different ✅ How distance affects the strength of electric and magnetic forces ✅ How charge and pole strength change the size of a force ✅ What a field is and why scientists use this concept ✅ How to interpret electric and magnetic field line diagrams ✅ Evidence that fields exist even when objects aren't touching ✅ Real-world examples in technology, nature, and everyday life What will the students be doing? ● Students will be given either a printed or digital handout to record answers on. ● Either individually or as a class watch the video ● Then, they will use the video and their own knowledge to answer the questions. ● Use questions to spark discussions and apply information beyond the page! 💯 Get the Full Teacher Answer Key
