ABOUT THIS GAME
This engaging word sort activity helps K-3 students understand the fundamental concepts of magnetic and electric forces as outlined in NGSS standard K3-PS2-3. Students classify 12 everyday examples into two categories: Magnetic Forces and Electric Forces. The activity includes familiar items like compasses, magnets, static electricity, and lightning, helping students recognize that forces can act without direct contact. This hands-on sorting exercise reinforces understanding of cause and effect relationships in magnetic and electric interactions, making abstract concepts more concrete for young learners
