• They discovered the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic materials by testing various objects with a magnet.

For continued development, you can encourage the child to conduct experiments using different types of magnets, such as bar magnets, horseshoe magnets, or magnetic wands. They can also explore the use of magnets in everyday objects and may try creating their own simple magnetic devices or games.
