We have been learning about the force of Magnetism as we completed a few investigations this week.

1.We tested how strong different magnets were by seeing which one could hold the longest chain of paperclips.

2. Students were given the challenge to make a magnet float.  They learned if you put 2 circle magnets on a pencil with like poles together the repelling force would make the top magnet float.

3. We tested to see which materials a magnet’s magnetic force could go through to attract paperclips.  All groups tested an index card, cardboard, and an eraser.  Then they could choose their own material to test.
