Boys’ group did a fabulous job maneuvering their little goats over a brilliantly designed bridge outwitting the troll.
Magnets are Magnificent!
Second graders in Mrs. Boyd’s class experimented with magnets and made some exciting discoveries about the characteristics of magnets. We created a list of magnetic and nonmagnetic items in our room and world. Magnets have magnetic fields, north and south poles, attract, repel and come in a variety of sizes and shapes.
Our culminating project allowed us to demonstrate a magnet’s magnetic field. After selecting a favorite story, we created paper characters, attached a paper clip to them and moved them about by holding a magnet underneath their stage. It took a lot of creative coordinating to move characters while retelling or reading a story. We saw the three billy goats Gruff cross the bridge, the three pigs move from house to house and several others. Magnets are magnificent!
