Magnets Practice Activities
Class 1 Science and EVS worksheets help children explore magnets by sorting objects, observing attraction, and using simple magnetic/non-magnetic vocabulary.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn about magnets
These Class 1 magnets worksheets help children notice that some materials are attracted to magnets and some are not. Learners practise observing, sorting, circling, matching, and naming objects using simple Science and EVS vocabulary.
The printable activities focus on real objects children may see at home or in class, such as coins, clips, keys, paper, wood, plastic, and cloth. They build early understanding of magnets as part of the Material Properties topic.
At this level, children do not need long definitions. They learn through clear observations: a magnet can pull some objects towards it, especially objects made of iron or steel, while many other materials are not attracted. The worksheets use familiar pictures and simple choices so children can connect science words with everyday things.
From noticing to sorting
The practice usually begins with identifying a magnet and objects around it. Children then sort items into magnetic and non-magnetic groups, match objects to the correct label, or tick what a magnet will attract. This progression supports careful looking before answering. It also reinforces material words such as metal, plastic, wood, paper, cloth, magnetic, non-magnetic, attract, and pull.
Parent routine at home
Give your child a safe magnet and 6 to 8 household objects, such as a steel spoon, paper clip, eraser, pencil, coin, leaf, plastic cap, and small toy. Ask, “What do you think will stick?” Let the child test one item at a time, then place it in two piles. After the activity, use one worksheet page to record or compare the results. Keep magnets away from very small children and electronic devices.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages after a short demonstration, in EVS activity corners, or as follow-up work after a materials walk around the classroom. Pair work is useful: one child predicts and the other checks with a magnet. The printable tasks also work well for quick assessment because answers show whether children are guessing by appearance or thinking about material.
Common errors to watch for
Many Class 1 learners think every shiny object is magnetic or that all metals stick to a magnet. Some may also circle an object because it is heavy, hard, or useful, not because of its material. Encourage them to say, “A magnet attracts this,” or “A magnet does not attract this,” instead of only saying yes or no.

Answers and answer key support
After the child completes the worksheet independently, parents and teachers can use the answer support or answer key information to check the work, review mistakes, and choose the next practice step.
Why iBloom worksheets help
The iBloom activities keep the science concrete, visual, and age-appropriate. Children meet the same idea in different formats, so they practise observation, vocabulary, and classification without feeling overloaded. A helpful child-friendly strategy is: predict, test, sort, and say the reason.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What do Class 1 children learn in magnets worksheets?
They learn that magnets attract some objects and do not attract others. The main focus is observing, sorting, and using words such as magnetic, non-magnetic, attract, and pull.
Do these worksheets teach magnetic poles?
The focus is mainly on simple attraction and material sorting. If poles appear, they should be introduced only through very simple observation, not detailed theory.
What objects can I use with these worksheets at home?
You can use safe everyday objects such as a paper clip, steel spoon, pencil, eraser, plastic cap, cloth piece, paper, and wooden item. Let the child predict and then test with a magnet.
Why do children sometimes think all metal objects are magnetic?
Young children often group objects by shine or hardness. Testing helps them see that some metals may not stick, while iron and steel objects usually do.
How can teachers use these magnets activities in class?
Teachers can use them after a magnet demonstration, in activity centres, for pair work, or as a quick check of whether children can classify objects as magnetic or non-magnetic.
Is this Class 1 magnets worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this Class 1 magnets worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
Does this Class 1 magnets worksheet include answers or an answer key?
When the activity has fixed answers, iBloom includes answer support so parents and teachers can check the completed worksheet.
