Demonstrate magnetic fields when you use a few simple supplies to build this experiment with your class. Revise and reinforce knowledge of attraction and repulsion between magnetic poles through participation in an active game. Magnetism is one of the most interesting practical applications of science that you can teach to young children. To be honest, this might be more “cookie sheet hacks” than “magnet hacks,” but it’s still a great idea. This clever window shade is one of our favorite magnet hacks, and much more attractive than a piece of black posterboard.

Investigate how it is forces that make things move (pushes and pulls) and that magnetic forces can move things at a distance without forces touching. Although magnetic play is engaging to children, magnets are very dangerous if accidentally ingested. Use results to draw simple conclusions, make predictions for new values, suggest improvements and raise further questions. All of these resources are really simple to use, all you'll need to do is find the one you like, download, print, and use whenever you wish.Potato Head, these magnetic robots are cute mix and matched aliens you can make with tons of possibilities. Teacher-made and high quality, simply browse this collection and find the resources best suited to your needs.

Magnet Maze Game (via Cakies) This inventive game takes a few basic materials like a paper plates and turns them into engaging games. Magnetic Fishing Game (via Doodle Craft) Pocket-sized, cute and fun, this magnetic fishing game is something I can see my kids wanting to play with over and over again, at home or out. While the MagGo has been designed with the Switch in mind, it's got room for other stuff, too, including (according to the manufacturer) your mobile phone, wallet, keys, USB type-c charger, passport and boarding pass. A presentation introduces class investigations on magnetic materials and on the forces of attraction and repulsion using bar magnets.Given how successful the Switch has been, it's understandable that we've seen quite a few carry case options arrive on the market. For a cross-curricular link, think about designing clothes with magnets, including backpacks and watch straps. However, the MagGo offers something a little different; instead of fiddly zips and clasps, it uses magnets.
