About this worksheet
A recycling workshop needs sixteen objects sorted. On this three-page Year 3 science sheet, pupils test or predict whether a magnet attracts each item, then write it under Magnetic or Non-Magnetic. Several items are metal but not magnetic, such as the brass key, the copper pipe, the gold ring and the aluminium foil. In Thinking Further, pupils name the hardest item and add one new item to each column. The answer key lists six magnetic items, all iron or steel, and explains why not all metals are magnetic. It follows the England National Curriculum.
