The past few days we have been exploring magnets as a force of pushes and pulls. The children learned the magnets contain poles (north and south) that create opposite attractions and cause metal objects containing steel to be pulled or pushed depending on their north/south charge. We had the chance to explore the room with magnets and list objects that were and were not able to attract a magnet. Today we tested the force of our magnets by trying to move magnets through objects like a chair, table, or clothes. The children loved learning that they could push items across the floor by placing same poles against each other (remember, opposites attract, likes repel). The children had a blast...science was pure magic!
