This week in science we used magnetic wands to see if specific items were magnetic. We learned that an item must be made out of iron, nickel, and cobalt in order to stick to our wands. Some items that were magnetic were: a paper clip, scissors, and a magnet. Some items that were not magnetic were: pencil, book, key, and an eraser. We also tested items from around the room. Magnets are fun!
