Magnets

This week we learned about magnets. On Friday we did a fun and simple experiment with magnets.  I placed a paperclip in a clean cup filled ¾ of the way with water. They had to  get the paperclip out of their cup without reaching in with their hands. They found that they could use a magnetic wand on the outside of the cup to retrieve the paperclip.

We drew pictures of the materials we used and labeled them. Here is a sneak peak into our classroom:
