In our science learning this week, we have been learning all about magnets and magnetism.
- We have been able to group materials based on whether they are magnetic or not.
- We have learnt that Iron, Nickel and Cobalt are all metals which are magnetic.
- We have also learnt that magnetism is a non-contact force.
Ask your child to see if they can remember some of our recent learning:
- What is a contact force?
- What is a non-contact force?
- What are the forces have we learnt about so far?
Here are some pictures of us during our science learning today. Ask your child to see if they can explain what is happening in the photos!
Great learning Y3!
