Describe and predict how a magnet interacts with materials and how magnets can push or pull.
The intent of K.7 is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Forces & magnets.
For Grade K, this standard focuses on Forces & magnets and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to K.7.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to K.7.
Standard K.7 describes the essential skills and understandings for Forces & magnets in Grade K. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Forces & magnets, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
