Magnificent Magnets

In Science, Year 3 have been learning about magnets and their magnetic fields. The children handled different types of magnets and were quick to make predictions about which they thought would be the strongest and why. They then used the magnets to investigate whether their predictions were correct or not by seeing which attracted the most paper clips. The children thoroughly enjoyed trying to create as long a chain as they could. As an extra challenge, the children were tasked with trying to make a paper clip hover above the desk. Some of them managed to figure it out!
