Magnet exploration moved to a whole new level this morning. After working with magnetiles for a bit, Noah Sussman and Aleeza thought it might be fun to take our magnet manipulatives out and see if they could work together. Aleeza's fancy headband even got caught in one of our magnetiles. That's when we realized it must be made of metal!!
It was exciting to add smaller metal objects to our towers and see which ones would stick and which were too heavy to stay put. Noah Sirlin even enjoyed a quick game of "golf"!! Fortunately, our magnet rods were pretty strong and most of the metal balls clung easily. No need to shout "FORE" today!!
Curiosity and the scientific process at work!
