Magnetism

We talked about fun magnet facts and enjoy learning some truly magnetic information about the world of magnetism. We find out what a magnet is, how magnetic fields work, which metals art magnetic and which are not.

We were learning how magnetic compasses use the Earth's magnetic field to help navigate in north, south, east and west directions.

We were performing some experiments with magnets.
