We had fun testing lots of household objects to see if they were magnetic in our ‘Scrapyard Challenge’. We took it in turns to choose an them, predict If it would be magnetic then check it using our magnet. We found some of our results surprising. The 10p coin wasn’t magnetic but the 2p coin was & we discussed reasons for this. We enjoyed this activity and worked really well in our groups.
This looks really fun. P7 have been looking at magnets too. I will see if they can work out why the 2p was magnetic but the 10p wasn’t.
