Electromagnet
Yesterday in class we made a Electromagnet in science.
Our goal was to put ten paper clips on the magnet in one try.
One team got 25 paper clips in one try.
Our team got 18. We were close to getting a new record.
The next time we got 36 paper clips and made a new class record!
Massive Magnets
I learned that some magnets have different reactions. Some magnets repel and some magnets attract. Magnets are
made of metal, nickel an
d cobalt. Albert Einstein studied magnets.
In the classroom there were 5 stations and different magnets were at each station. My favorite station was one station with the giant magnet and you can attach smaller magnets onto it. I liked the experiment that attracted different pieces of dust to different magnets. It was interesting because it showed how to attract dust in different ways using different sides of the magnet.
That night at home I watched on a you-tube video that some magnets shaped like big rocks attracted paperclips. It was super cool!
