This week, we began learning about our new Science topic, Forces and Magnets. We discussed what a magnet was as well as a magnetic field. To further understand how a magnet works, we used metal objects that would be attracted by the magnet and discussed how close the magnet has to get before the object entered its magnetic field. We used iron fillings to help us see this even more clearly.
We then explored the classroom hunting for objects that were magnetic or non magnetic and discussed why this might be.
Here are some pictures of our learning!
