Testing which objects stick to magnets and which do not

Attracting, repelling and floating with magnetsDiscovering whether ALL metals stick to magnetsDetecting which metal objects contain ironMaking and exploring with a compassDetermining which windows are facing North and which are facing SouthUsing iron filings to visualize the lines of force Figuring out that magnetic force works through materials

including cardboards, water, wood and even the entire Earth.Making a temporary magnet from a permanent magnet.Finally, they make an electromagnet, learn how to turn it on and off, and how to flip its poles. With this knowledge, they are on their way to understanding how electric motors work.
