My Project

Please help me engage my students to learn about magnets. In third grade magnets are involved in our science unit. However, I need a way to excite my students about magnets and encourage them to explore the “attraction” that they have. Magnatiles, magnetic wands and a few books will help engage my students as they’ll be able to explore, create a hypothesis, draw conclusions through exploration and make statements about magnets. My hope is to create a hands on learning/ exploring gallery for students to get excited about their learning.
