Y3 Science Forces and Magnets


In Science last week the children demonstrated their knowledge of forces and magnets by designing an experiment to investigate which of the magnets provided was the strongest. The children had the freedom to present their work however they saw fit. I was very impressed with their scientific thinking and everyone could explain fully which magnet was the strongest/ weakest and why. Well done Y3!
