P7a have been hard at work today building models as part of their Floating Gardens STEM challenge inspired by Practical Action and their great work world wide.
Science
We have started learning about magnets in Science this week. We know that magnets have a North Pole and a South Pole. Magnets can attract other materials and they can also repel material. When magnets attract other materials they are drawn close to them.
We had lots of fun using the different magnets around the classroom to see which materials were magnetic.
We carried out an investigation in the class to test the magnetism of different objects. First we predicted if the material was going to attract or repel the magnet. Then we tested the object with a magnet to see if our predictions were right.
