Magnets

     We sure have had a lot of fun learning about magnets the last few weeks!  Here is a list of things we have learned.

Do not put magnets up close to stuff that uses electricity.
Magnets are useful.
There is a cow magnet.

Magnets can pick up iron and cobalt.
The earth is a magnet.
Magnets don't stick to copper.


Magnets repel when north and north are together.
I learned that one magnet can move a paperclip through 76 paper plates.
Magnets can attract other magnets.


Some magnets are very strong and some are weak.
Some are used for big things like cars.
They have a north pole and a south pole.


The same poles attract but different poles don't attract.
Magnets stick to batteries.
Magnets push apart when they repel.

Please make sure your child brings winter weather gear to wear at recess.  We go out most days.  They are welcome to bring boots and snowpants.
