Going Fishing

Today in my class we read What Makes a Magnet?  One activity the book suggested was to have students gather a group of magnetic and non-magnetic items and let them go "fishing" in a box to see what is and what isn't magnetic.  We thought this would be fun to do in class.  So, for a caught being good coupon, students are asked to bring in a collection of items for classmates to test.  Please send in your items in a gallon plastic sealable bag.  We will write your child's name on the baggie and allow students to test the items to see which items in the collection are magnetic and which items are not.  Thanks!
