About this worksheet
Introduce your students to magnets with this scaffolded reading worksheet built for 3rd grade. The short, kid-friendly passage explains what a magnet is, what magnetic materials are, and why some objects stick while others do not. It ends with the everyday example every child knows: why a magnet sticks to the refrigerator door.
Key science vocabulary is bolded right in the text, so the reading doubles as a vocabulary builder. Comprehension questions climb gently from recall to reasoning and include multiple choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank with a word bank, so every learner can show what they understand. A friendly illustration anchors the closing concept.
This resource works perfectly as the reading front-end to a hands-on magnets unit, a science-literacy center, early-finisher work, sub plans, or homework. Everything is no-prep: just print and teach. A clean answer key is included, and the answer key skips the passage to save your ink.
