Make Meaning With Magnets
Funded Dec 18, 2024Students greatly enjoyed working with the magnets in this project. First we investigated what normal objects were magnetic, then we generated magnetic field line images using magnetic filings, then we attempted to create "magic tricks" with magnets.
Then students were able to use the magnets for a design challenge. They had to try to make the largest tower with the magnetic bars, rods, and spheres. They had to contend with the invisible magnetic force that made some structures more stable than others. They also improved their teamwork and communication through these lessons.”
