Science Lab - Magnets

We took our magnets outside to see if most things in nature are magnetic.

We discovered that most things in nature are NOT magnetic. 



We came upon a squirrel that had died, so Mrs. Tucker, being a science teacher, we checked to see if the squirrel was magnetic.







Mrs. Tucker sprinkled iron filings on a magnet and we watched how the filings are attracted and repelled by different parts of the magnet.  Some of the filings even stood up on the magnet.  



We used one magnet under the table and one on top and it was strong enough to move the magnet through the table.  




We used a magnet to move a paper clip between some pages of a textbook.  









Buddy Fun

 The students loved making turkey headbands with their 7th grade buddies!

Science Lab - Nov. 6

 We began our unit on Magnets this week.

We explored magnets, predicted and tested whether a magnet would attract different items.
