Magnets!

Kindergarten students have launched into an exploration of magnets.  Each student was given a tray filled with items to test to see if the items were magnetic.  There were some surprises!  Pipe cleaners and twist ties were magnetic, which was a surprise to everyone, while money is not, even though it is metal.  Another discovery was that there are lots of items around the room that are magnetic, including table and chair legs, and the door frames.  We'll continue for the next few classes playing magnet games and creating magnet mazes.
