Three magnet sheets: things to guess about and then test with a magnet; pairs of bar magnets to mark attract or repel, with the answer key; and a bar magnet with its poles, its field lines and the paper clips at its ends, labelled or to label.

Magnetic or not? lists ten everyday things with a picture of each, and two rows for things the children find themselves. They circle a guess first, then hold a magnet to each thing and circle what happened. Attract or repel shows four pairs of bar magnets: the children look at the two ends that face each other and write what they do, then answer two questions; the answer key follows. The magnet’s poles and field names the north pole, the south pole, the field lines and the paper clips gathered at the ends; to label, it gives numbered boxes and a word bank, with the labelled sheet after it as the key.
Only some materials, such as iron, cobalt and nickel, show strong magnetic effects, OpenStax’s physics textbook explains, so a magnet picks up an iron nail and leaves a pencil, a sock or an apple where it is. Not every metal sticks, so a thing that looks like metal is worth testing too. That is why the sheet asks for a guess first.
A magnet pulls hardest at its poles, which is where the paper clips gather. Hung so it can turn, one pole always turns to point north: that is the north pole, and a compass needle is a small magnet doing just that. Two north poles, or two south poles, push each other away; a north and a south pull together. The field lines drawn around the magnet show its pull: they point away from the north pole and toward the south pole.
All 118 elements on one landscape page, each with its atomic number, symbol, name and atomic weight, the weights as IUPAC’s commission on atomic weights gives them. Print it in full, without the weights, or with only the numbers to fill in, and the full table after it as the answer key.
A solid, a liquid and a gas, each drawn with its particles in the same closed container, and the four changes between them. Print it labelled, to label, to cut and glue, or to sort twelve everyday things, each with its key.
Eight tools a young scientist uses, from a magnifying glass to a balance scale and a stopwatch: match each tool to its job, write each tool’s name from a word bank, or print the chart of all eight with what each is for. Answer keys follow.
The lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge and screw, each drawn to show how it works, with what it does and where you find it. Print the chart, the sheet to label or to match, each with its answer key, or a hunt for one of each at home or at school.
The four stages of a monarch butterfly drawn in a cycle, egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a northern leopard frog drawn in a cycle, egg, tadpole, froglet and frog, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The life cycle of a flowering plant, a bean, drawn in four stages, seed, sprout, seedling and adult plant with its flowers and pods, with an arrow from each to the next and back to the seed. Print it labelled, with what happens at each stage, to label with a word bank, or to cut and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a chicken drawn in a cycle, egg, embryo, chick and hen, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage, the days counted from the egg. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a ladybug drawn in a cycle, eggs, larva, pupa and adult, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a pumpkin drawn in a cycle, seed, sprout, flower and pumpkin, with an arrow from each to the next and back to the seed. Print it labelled, with what happens at each stage, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of an apple tree drawn in a cycle, seed, young tree, blossom and apple, with an arrow from each to the next and back to the seed. Print it labelled, with what happens at each stage, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
The four stages of a wild turkey drawn in a cycle, eggs in a nest, poult, young turkey and a tom with his tail spread, with an arrow from each to the next and what happens at each stage. Print it labelled, to label with a word bank, or with the four pictures to cut out and glue in order; the answer key follows.
