Electrostatic and Magnetic forces

Leave a comment

This afternoon P6/7 have done lots of science experiments learning about electrostatic and magnetic forces.

We rubbed balloons on our hair and tested where they would stick. We also  moved different objects using magnets.

We all had a lot of fun and even made our own magnets!

sticking to a whiteboard – acting like a magnet

 

Magnetic maze – the magnet worked through card to move the paperclip through the maze.

 

Save the drowning paperclip! The magnet worked through the glass and water to drag the paperclip out!

 

Magnetic madness! We made our own needle magnets.

Well done everyone. I felt oh so proud to have been singing with all of my friends. I was quite nervous to be doing my reading but I got on with it and so did all of the other narrators. Everyone performed well. My favourite bit was the community singing. The songs were Santa Clause is Coming to Town, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, Jingle Bells and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. The wee ones did especially well because they made the mums and dads cry and that was our plan. So again well done everyone for doing their best. We got a huge round of applause.
