Magnetism and Scientific Method

On Friday, our class spent some time exploring with magnets in three different science centers.  The goal for the day was to focus on inquiry - to observe, make hypotheses, and to record data.  During the centers, students learned about different types of magnets - their names and characteristics of how they look and compare and contrast to each other, what kind of objects magnets are attracted to and not attracted to, and also created art with magnets.  Students recorded their results with pictures and words, taking time to observe closely before gathering their data.
