VINS - Magnets Hannah visited our classroom right before vacation. The kids experimented with magnets, figuring out what materials were magnetic and what weren't. After playing with various materials, the hypothesized what new materials were likely to be magnetic and what wouldn't be. Then they experimented to see if they were correct. They also learned that some magnets are more powerful than others. Since Hannah's visit, we have had more magnets out for the kids to experiment with on their own. It's been lots of fun!
