Magnets

We did some experiments with magnets this week:

We used a magnet to move a train around the track without touching it.

We tested to see if a magnet would work through various materials eg a cup, a glass, a piece of cardboard etc.

We made a compass by magnetising a needle and floating it on water.

We magnetized a nail by rubbing it with a bar magnet.

We tested different metals to see which were attracted to magnets: Aluminium cans, tin cans, coins, tinfoil,paperclips etc
