Art & Science: Magnetism

science-magnets8
I ran across some old but wonderful unpublished blog posts. I love playing with magnets so much that we had a special magnetism project day!
To make the most of magnets:

  • explored a magnet sensory bin
  • played with magna tiles
  • created small worlds and magnetic characters that navigate them, see full project here.

This magnet sensory bin is filled with rice, metal objects, and non metal objects. Each child receives a magnet wand to test objects in the bin.

These plastic discs are wonderful to play with. There is a little metal ring around each so it sticks to the wand.

All ages love magnets.

Students drew inspiration from printed character and shapes.
