Fun with Magnets

We have completed a mini-unit on magnets.  Students had fun experimenting with them and finding out what will attract (stick) and what will be repelled (not stick) to the magnets.  We learned about the poles, how some metals are naturally magnetic, and how some can be made to be magnetic.  Some of our experiments were a bit challenging due the age of our magnets and the need to get them re-magnetized!  This will hopefully be looked into before they are used again.  Oh, well.  It was fun to play with them.
