This Grade 1 worksheet shows how a steel nail can turn into a temporary magnet when rubbed the right way. Nine fill-in sentences introduce temporary and permanent magnets, one-way rubbing, and losing magnet power over time. A matching activity links four actions, like rubbing wood or leaving a nail alone, with their outcomes. First graders explore cause and effect in a hands-on science context.
