Marvellous Magnets!

We have worked on some fun and amazing activities this week in our study of Forces that Attract and Repel. We tested a strong magnet and discovered that we could attach 310 paperclips to the magnet before they started to drop off.

We also tried to see if we could "find" the iron in cereal. We used a cereal that contained 50% of our daily iron requirements. We ground the cereal and added water to it so that it looked like brown mush.

Then we dragged a strong magnet over the bag of cereal to see if we could attract the iron. Guess what? We did it! It was a very cool experiment!
