Science

• They also learned about the concept of magnetic fields and how they influence the behavior of magnets.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore different types of magnets, such as bar magnets or horseshoe magnets. They can experiment with different materials to see which objects are attracted to the magnets and which are not. Additionally, they can investigate how the strength of a magnet affects its ability to attract objects.
