1 Magnificent Magnet Activities Terrie Schmoldt Magnet Journal It s a great compilation of student work which is useful for: o Portfolios o Student led conferences o Science Night o Helpful for parents when selecting what work to keep and to guide discussion. Asking specific questions like How did you blow bubbles with your hands? versus general questions What did you do today? prompts greater discussion.

2 Magnet Lesson Plans Day One Book: The Mystery of Magnets, by Melvin Berger - Look at cover and predict what we may learn about magnets. Read and discuss big book pages 1-2 Activities: 1.
