Magnet Labs Today!

We got lots of hands-on time with some very engaging materials today.  Students explored toys that use magnets, how magnets attract (pull) each other and how they repel (push), and they tested many different materials to see if they were attracted to the magnets.  By the time we finish our study of magnets, students should be able to describe materials that are attracted to magnets, and to use the words attract and repel correctly when describing their observations.  Look for more magnet learning coming soon on the students' blogs!

Hmm...  Why do the magnets attract these fuzzy things?

We really get to just play with these magnetic toys?
