Magnets


Today in Science we were investigating with Magnets. We discovered that magnets come in all different sizes and shapes. We went on a magnet hunt first to discover what objects stick to the magnet or are attracted to magnets. We discovered the magnets stuck to objects like the magnetic white board, the filing cabinet, a scissor, paper clips, the coat rack, metal part of the chairs and sandpit. All these things contain metal. Then we investigated what objects would not stick to our magnets, these including objects that are made of wood: the doors, windows. Objects made of glass: the window, the computer screen, jars. Objects made from paper: colouring books, worksheets, books. Objects that are made from plastic: our lunchboxes, toy boxes. It was a great class of discovery.
