Fun with Magnets in P3/2

This week we have been learning about magnetism.

We know that magnets are attracted to some special metals and that these magnets have a North and and South pole.

We took part in several games and activities involving magnets.

#1 We predicted which objects we thought would be attracted to a magnet and then used a magnet to checked if we were right.

#2 We searched a treasure chest for magnetic objects.

#3 We tried to find the strongest magnet by counting how many paper clips it could pick up.

#4 We played a magnetic fishing game and tried to pick up Spongebob characters.

#5 We had to find objects around the classroom which were attracted to a magnet.

#6 We had to pick up spiders with hidden numbers underneath and then count up our total points at the end of the game.
