Our first day exploring with magnets proved to be quite interesting. In addition to having some fun, we also brought out a lot of our prior knowledge about magnets and their properties, which the students learned back in 2nd Grade.
*All magnets have invisible magnetic fields.
*Some magnets are stronger than others.
*Magnets come in different shapes and sizes.
*The Earth is like a giant magnet.
*Magnetism is a force (push/pull).
*All magnets have a North and a South Pole.
*Like poles repel (or push away from each other).
*Opposite poles attract (or pull toward each other).
Upcoming investigations will explore what happens to a magnet's poles when the magnet is broken. We will also make a temporary magnet and test its varying strength when it is magnetized to different levels of strength. After participating in a Gizmo virtual lab on magnetism, students will design and create their own magnet experiments by formulating and exploring their own "testable questions".
Enjoy our slideshow. :-)
