Here we are learning about the special power that all magnets possess - the ability to hold and move other pieces of metal that they are attracted to. We learned all magnets have two poles, a north pole and a south pole. We discovered that only different poles will attract one another while same poles will repel one another. The children especially loved being able to actually feel the magnets as they repelled against each other. No matter how hard they tried, no one could get the magnets to touch!
The children then teamed up and worked together with magnetic pieces to build all types of different structures. They could have sat and worked at this station for hours! All you need is a cookie sheet and some magnets and magically, you have the best toy in the world!
SCIENCE IS FUN!
