Magnet fun

By Hornbeam , in Year 3 - Thursday, 5 September 2024

We had our introduction lesson to our half term's Science topic 'Forces and Magnets' today. 

We discussed what we already know. This included there being no gravity in space and not all metal being magnetic. 

We thought of things we would like to find out. These included 'Is gold magnetic?' 'Why is there no gravity in space?' 

We ended our lesson exploring a selection of magnets. We found lots of magnetic items around the room and were fascinated by the force field that is created when two of the same poles repel against one another.
