Built a castle with magnetic tiles

Science

• The student learned about the concept of magnetism by observing how the magnetic tiles attracted and repelled each other while building the castle.
• They gained an understanding of engineering and structural stability as they experimented with different shapes and sizes of the tiles to build a stable and balanced castle.
• They explored the properties of different materials as they tested the magnetic tiles on various surfaces and observed which ones the tiles could and couldn't adhere to.

For continued development, encourage the student to explore more complex structures using the magnetic tiles, such as creating bridges, tunnels, and multi-level buildings. They can also experiment with combining the magnetic tiles with other building materials to understand how magnetism interacts with different substances.
