Third Grade
While magnets may not be magic, they sure are fun to tinker with! Third graders did an awesome job investigating attract and repel. They used their newly-acquired knowledge to design and build solutions that showcased the interactions between magnets. Ask your child to tell you about his/her design solution. Some interesting solutions include a magnetic hand band that will secure your metal coffee cup by using the force of attract. Another solution was a magnetic door latch that is easily opened when your hands are full of groceries. There was also a solution that used magnetic Legos. All very creative ideas constructed by inquisitive students! Next up...friction. It's a hot topic:)
