Grade 3 Science · Magnets
Explore Grade 3 Science with five 10-question practice tests on magnetic materials, poles, attraction, repulsion, compasses, and everyday uses of magnets.
These Grade 3 Science practice tests help students understand how magnets interact with materials and with one another. Students explore magnetic materials, poles, attraction, repulsion, magnetic fields, compasses, and electromagnets.
Check the material first, then identify the poles or force involved. Remember that opposite poles attract, like poles repel, and magnetic force can act across a small space without direct contact.

Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is Move a magnet over the mixture..
The magnet attracts the iron filings and leaves the sand behind.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is A magnet pulls the metal object toward it..
Attraction to a magnet is evidence of magnetic behavior.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Some metals are attracted to magnets, but many materials are not..
Magnetic attraction depends on the material.
Magnets attract iron, steel, and some other magnetic materials, but not every metal or material.
Like poles repel, while opposite poles attract.
