“Magnets teach us an important lesson – opposite forces can come together to create magic”
A series of engaging magnet activities was recently organized on 8th September at GD Goenka Public School. The main objective is to help students explore the properties of magnets through hands-on activities, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way. Different magnet activity was done where students could experiment with various types of magnetic materials.
Toddlers enjoyed the Magnetic Car Race. A track was prepared where children used magnets to drag toy cars. This fun-filled activity helped toddlers understand the basic concept of magnetic force through play. It improved their hand-eye coordination and understanding of push and pull forces.
Kindergarten enjoyed making Creative Fridge Magnets. Children created colourful animal-shaped fridge magnets using magnets and sun sheets. It developed their creativity, fine motor skills, and basic understanding of how magnets can hold objects in place.
Grade I students did Magnetic vs Non-Magnetic Sorting. The teacher prepared a chart with two columns – Magnetic and Non-Magnetic. Students were given random objects and individually identified which were magnetic and which were not. Students learned to classify objects based on their properties and developed observation skills.
Grade II students did Magnet vs Coin Experiment. Students experimented to explore how magnets interact with coins and water. They observed which coins were attracted to the magnet and discussed the science behind it.
Children from all grades actively participated and showed great enthusiasm. The activities promoted hands-on learning, collaboration, and critical thinking. Teachers guided the students at every step, ensuring safety and fun throughout the session.
The Magnetic Activity Day was a huge success, fostering curiosity and excitement among young learners. The problem-based approach helped students not only understand the concept of magnets but also encouraged them to think, explore, and discover through play and experimentation.
