Today, we began our new topic in Science, Forces and Magnets. We began by discussing everything we already know about magnets and forces and the questions we have about this topic. We then recorded this into our books. We then began to explore forces and magnets by using them on our tables. We learnt that magnetic forces can act at a distance and attract some materials and not others. We compared and grouped materials according to whether they were magnetic or not. We also discussed that often metals are magnetic, but learnt that not all metals such as copper and aluminium are magnetic.
