Magnetic Science

Do you like fishing?   Our class had fun fishing with magnets in Science!  The kids learned that the horseshoe magnet was attracted to items that had metal in them.   Of course, the more objects that could be 'caught' at once, the more fun it was!  

Later, we used bar magnets and learned that magnets have a North Pole and a South Pole.   The magnets only attract if opposite poles touch.  Two like poles will repel each other.  The kids had fun playing with one bar magnet and a marble magnet.  They figured out how to push the magnet marbles around without touching them using a bar magnet!   It was fun experimenting with magnets!
