Learning about Magnets

We continue to learn about force and motion in science.  This week we experimented with magnets.  We first made predictions about whether or not magnets can work through different materials.  Then we got magnets and tested each of the magnets' "powers" through each material... INCLUDING OUR SHOES!!

                                                                      cardboard

                                                       tin cans, aluminum foil, water, and fabric

  Look!  It can event attract through a chair!!

 .....and through plastic!

We were all surprised at all the different materials magnets can attract through - especially some of our shoes AND our hands!!
