Science
In science this week our focus has
been learning about magnets. We
have sorted objects by magnetic/not
magnetic. Weve discovered that only
metal is magnetic BUT not all metals!
Objects that contain iron are
magnetic. We also explored some
other questions we had about
magnets. Are some magnets stronger
than others? Will a magnet work
through another object? Where are
magnets used in the real world
besides to hold things to the
refrigerator? We discovered that some
magnets are very strong and lift cars
on to junkyard piles! We also saw a
magnet work through a paper plate!
