Try this at home - Magnets!

Try this at home!

This week's try at home tuff tray is all about exploring magnets! 🧲

You will need :

  • Household items (magnetic and non-magnetic items).
  • A Magnet.
  • Tweezers or spoons to pick up items.
  • 2 plates to separate magnetic and non magnetic items.

Exploring magnets provides a fun and engaging way for children to learn about basic scientific principles like magnetic attraction and repulsion, fostering curiosity and developing critical thinking skills by allowing them to manipulate objects and observe cause-and-effect relationships; this hands-on learning experience also helps with fine motor skills, coordination, and spatial reasoning as they experiment with different materials and distances between magnets.
