Pre-K Goes on a Magnet Scavenger Hunt!

Pre-K has been very busy exploring how magnets work.  Earlier in the year, pre-k used horseshoe magnets to test a multitude of objects and determine if the objects were magnetic or not. 

So many things to test!

  
Last month, we decided to look around the classroom and see what objects the magnet sticks to.  We drew a picture of what the magnet would stick to and what it didn't stick to (with an X on the picture).  Some of us thought that the  magnets would stick to metal, but were surprised to discover that the magnet didn't stick to all metal objects....only some.

The magnet definitely sticks to the white board!

Look!  It sticks to the door frame.

It really sticks on the white board!

Drawing what the magnet sticks on to.

The magnet sticks on the bell!

What about the filing cabinets?

So fun to put the magnets on the white board!
