Emily asked the students, “What would you want the elementary age students to learn?”
Their thoughts were:
We could talk about magnets repelling… possibly bring the treys with the iron filings so we could show them a magnetic field. Or we could simply give the students two magnets so they could feel magnets attracting and repelling.
We could have one station with a pile of paperclips and have the students use a bar magnet to pick them up and discuss neutral objects.
We could talk about compasses.
We could show the students the motors we built.
