LemonTree Family Child Care: Science Fair : The power of magnets

This was a science project I designed with my team members in a class of Early Childhood Education (ECE). The purpose of this science fair is to

Experiment with magnets and various objects. Classify which items are attracted, and which are not. Analyze the material each object is made of.

Materials we prepared to do this experiment include bar magnet, horseshoe magnet, wooden toothpick, penny, jewelry, plastic cup, paper clips, thread, rubber band, elastic hair bands, tin can, glass, aluminum foil, crayon, nail, paper, school scissors, tacks, staples,etc.

This is good way to teach children how to use scientific approach to observe and solve problems. The children in our school got chance to do experiment, make hypothesis, record observations and make conclusions by themselves.
