Magnetism - Science and Technology!

Our Science inquiry last term involved magnets. As part of this we made our own fishing game with the help of our buddies. We made fish with the numbers from 1 to 10on them, attached them to a magnet and then tried to fish them up. We are using the game at home to help us to recognise our numbers. This term in our inquiry we are using magnets as part of technology. We are going to explore all the ways we can use magnets and then design our own magnet using different materials. The one we make must meet differnt criteria especially the one that says - it will be strong enough to hold our reading and spelling homework on our fridge.
