Testing the Strength of Magnets

As part of our study of Magnetism, we conducted an experiment to test the strength of three different kinds of magnets that we have in our classroom--a horseshoe magnet, a wand magnet, and a toy magnet. First, we  made our predictions, and decided we thought the wand magnet would be the strongest and the horseshoe magnet would be the weakest.

Recording our results, like good scientists do.

Morgan tested the toy magnet as well.

Filling in our results sheets sure looks like fun!

 

PS: Our predictions were spot on! The wand magnet WAS the strongest, and the horseshoe magnet WAS the weakest! Great job, scientists!
