We have been learning about magnets. The magnets have a North and South Pole and if you put North and North together they repel each other which means they push away from each other. If you put opposite poles together they attract each other which means they stick together.
We also did experiments and found out that even if there is something in the way like a piece of plastic, the metal can still stick to the magnet. We tested whether magnets work under water, we thought it wouldn’t work but it did. We tested how close an object had to be to stick the magnet, the furthest away the metal could be was 4cm.
We also thought about where you might find magnets in everyday life. We knew quite a few places where magnets are used to make our lives easier. Can you think of any?
