4th classes have been learning about magnetism in Science, and to conclude the work they have designed and made inventive games with magnets.
Starting with brainstorming ideas and working out what materials they would need, the students worked in class time, mostly in pairs, to bring their ideas to life. Projects ranged from using magnetism to guide actors on a stage, to various ‘fishing’ games and mazes, to a crane that managed to lift its own weight.
After writing their work up as a procedure, complete with diagrams, students will present the challenges and pitfalls they experienced to the rest of their class.
