Friday Science - Magnet Play

Today, during science, the students played with magnets! Their first task was to explore a range of magnets and write down their observations. Their second task was to find objects that were magnetic and make conclusions about what objects (eg. metals) magnets stick to. Finally, they had to make a paper clip float in mid air (known as the Indian Rope Trick). Those that achieved that were then challenged to get two pieces of string floating horizontally in the air without any support. Here are some photos of our magnet science!
