Below are the concepts and vocabulary students need to know and demonstrate understanding of to master this SOL
*I have made these into cards, so you can have your student sort and match the picture to the definition or concept to study. You could also play games with the cards such as “Go Fish” or
“Concentration”. For “Go Fish” you follow all the same rules, except you are asking for definitions or vocabulary words to make a match, same for concentration.

Magnets can attract objects made of iron, nickel or cobalt.
