Second Grade is learning a lot about magnets. We know that magnetism is an invisible force that some metals (iron or steel) or rocks possess. While exploring with our magnets, we made some discoveries: magnetic force is strongest at the poles (North and South poles)! It has also been such fun for the students to experience how magnets can push, pull, attract, and repel certain objects. Today we talked about how magnets can be useful in everyday life. Students named a wide variety of uses for magnets such as the refrigerator door, toys, a compass, some trains, electronic equipment, and even some cabinet doors! Today students followed the scientific method when viewing the “Floating Paperclip and Magic Glove” trick! Students asked a question.. and then made predictions! Many of our predictions were found to be correct when we formed the conclusion that magnets were inside of the “magic” glove, and the magnets caused the paperclip to float! Second graders enjoyed using their new magnet books and then experimented with a tray of objects to test for magnetism. Bar, donut, and horseshoe magnets are exciting to use!
