Science

This week we will be finishing up our unit on Magnets. The vocabulary terms that your child needs to know are as follows: permanent magnet, temporary magnet, magnetic poles, magnetic field, compass, repel, and attract. We have completed several experiments and have learned that magnets will attract to some metals but not all metals. Do you know two metals that a magnet will attract? We will take a test over magnets on Friday.
