Magnetism – Unavailable for 2023-2024

In-Class Field Trips for Grade Two Students

Have you ever seen a cow magnet?

This fun and exciting program encourages students to explore the amazing world of magnets.

By rotating in groups between five stations, students will use a variety of magnets and discover their everyday uses. Topics such as polarity, strength and transparency are discussed and observed. Students will also discover they can make a temporary magnet by magnetizing a pair of scissors.

The scissors will be theirs to keep.
