Today students used magnets to move a paper rabbit and squirrel along a path they had designed. Many partners first tried blowing the papers, since the challenge was to move them along the path without touching the paper, but it turned out to be hard to get them to move just right... Then some students realized that we had been working with magnets earlier in the week and since we had used a paper clip to hold the parts together that might work! Students learned that they could pull the paper clip with the magnet and also that a magnet could push or pull another magnet. Here they are demonstrating their magnetic force!
