Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the principles of magnetism and create various structures using magnetic tiles.

Materials and Prep

• Magnetic tiles set
• Flat surface to work on
• No prior knowledge required

Activities

• Magnetic Exploration: Start by experimenting with the magnetic tiles. See how they attract and repel each other. Try different combinations to understand the basics of magnetism.
• Building Challenge: Set a timer and challenge yourself to build a specific structure using the magnetic tiles. You can try building a house, a tower, or even a vehicle.
• Magnetic Art: Get creative and use the magnetic tiles to create a unique piece of art. Combine colors and shapes to make a beautiful design.

Talking Points

• "Magnetic tiles have opposite poles that attract each other and like poles that repel each other."
• "When two magnets attract, they stick together. When they repel, they push each other away."
• "Experiment with different shapes and sizes of magnetic tiles to see how they interact."
• "Remember to handle the magnetic tiles carefully to avoid them snapping together too forcefully."
