As you know, this week we began our unit on electricity. Today we experimented with magnets. Students had a blast using a variety of magnets in all sorts of ways. Students were asked to use the magnets and clips in groups of two and observe the poles. We also watched some short video clips from Bill Nye on electricity and magnets.
The focus question of the lesson was– What happens when you place like “poles” of a magnet next to each other? What happens when you place unlike poles next to each other?
Ask your child what he/she observed.
