Last week Pono Pod investigated into how strong some of our magnets are.
On Monday we tinkered with two different magnets (a small magnet wand and a large magnet horseshoe), paper clips, and materials such as cardboard, plastic, and water. We wanted to see which magnet was stronger and if the force was strong enough to go through these materials.
On Friday we used our learning to create our own maze and guide a paper clip through it with the magnet! This was challenging but we collaborated in our groups and problem-solved together to create our own maze.
So what have we discovered so far?
* Magnets attract metal and their force can go through other materials.
* The stronger the magnet is, the thicker the material can be and still let the force go through it.
I wonder what we will discover next week...
