We have begun our new Inquiry into Energy. Our big idea----Energy exists in many forms.It can be observed, changed and put to a variety of uses. We have started looking at Magnetic force and will explore Sound and Electricity in the coming weeks. What are our magnets attracted to-why are they attracted to some things and not others.? We could feel the magnetic force. We loved experimenting with the Science boxes. We enjoyed painting our horse shoe magnets. Great work in Room 3.
