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.
