Magnets and Motors and electricity!

We read about how animals may use the magnetism of the earth to find their way around.  We graphed the "measuring magnets"  experiment results, and looked at a homemade compass that showed us North in our classroom.  We also looked at how magnets could force it to move and spin.  

Tomorrow we will build a circuit with a switch and light bulb and then see how the electricity flowing through the wires affects the compass.

We watched Bill Nye Electricity and answered his four questions in our M&M booklet.

Final grades will still include the Magnets and Motors booklets and Block 4 Final.
