Magnet Sorting Experiment
Here is an experiment we use to learn which items
are attracted to magnets and which items are not.
It is always interesting to see what items the
students predict will be attracted to magnets.
I am always surprised at the misconceptions. One item they often incorrectly predict as
one that WILL be attracted to a magnet is the copper penny. They seem to assume that ALL metals are
attracted to magnets. We even get out
one of each coin and take the investigation that much farther.
My kiddos have a blast
exploring with magnets!
