Indian Rock Elementary’s Magnetic Attraction

Submitted by Mrs. Amy Uffleman

 

After learning about the properties of magnets, magnetic force and field, and how magnets are used to operate the maglev train, students were given materials to use to create a levitating pencil. They had to incorporate all unit content to make their pencils float above the magnets.  The activity exhibited a very ‘attractive’ outcome of success and application of knowledge!
