Technology-Making Fridge Magnets






Our inquiry topic this term has been Mighty Magnets. During this technology unit we investigated ways that magnets are used to help us in our daily lives. We decided to make our own fridge magnets to hold our spelling or maths rockets to the fridge at home. First the children selected some materials to make their magnets and checked them out for suitability. When they were happy with their choice they sketched their design plan. The children followed this plan to make their fridge magnet and then tested whether it could hold up their spelling or maths rocket. They all did! Well done Room1!
