In 6th grade, we are experimenting with magnets. We had some entertaining lessons, in which we could explore the interesting world of magnetism.
We saw, drew and used magnets of different shapes:
We recognized the two different magnetic poles every magnet has, North and South, and we realized that if we put two magnets together, they can ATTRACT or REPEL. Opposite poles attract; the same poles repel.
ATTRACT:
REPEL:
We could also see the magnetic field lines after spreading out some iron fillings onto a paper, which was laid on a bar magnet.
We couldn't avoid playing with the iron fillings for a while... ;)
