Chain Reaction SculptureYou may have noticed that when magnetic metals touch a magnet they will attract magnetic metals too. You can use this characteristic to build a “chain of magnetic objects outward from a permanent magnet.
Use this characteristic to create your own unique magnetic sculpture! |
Flying ButterfliesLong range force…..how far away can the magnetic force work? Scientists use magnets that will attract objects from many feet away. Your magnet can attract objects a few inches away.
Create a scene in which a butterfly (or other flying object) seems to float in thin air, on its own! |
Attractive Silly FacesMagnets pull magnetic materials such as iron and steel toward them. This pull is called attraction. The stronger the magnet, the stronger the magnetic force.
Create and decorate silly faces with iron filings! |
