Perform one or more of the experiments from Kids Science Experiments website or other sources to find the properties of magnets. You can test the pull of a magnet, make a magnet from metal objects, observe how magnets push and pull and use magnets to show direction (north, south, east and west).
Write a question about what you want to know for each of the tests mentioned in Step 1.
For example, to test the pull of a magnet the question could be: How many paper clips does a small magnet pick up compared to a large magnet? To make a magnet from metal objects, the question can be: How do you make a magnet using another magnet? To observe how magnets push and pull, your question can be: How do magnets push and pull? Finally, to use magnets to show direction, your question can be: Can magnets find which directions is north?
Find the answers to each question by performing the experiment. For example, you can use a magnet to test what it attracts and what it doesn't, using small metal items such as paper clips and plastic items such as water bottle caps.
Figure out conclusions. For each answer, you can make assumptions about a magnetic property and how it might be used in real life. For example, after testing what a magnet attracts, you'll come to the conclusion that magnets attract metal and not plastic or wood. You can also figure out that magnets can be used to separate metal items from trash.
Write one conclusion that is four paragraphs long, with each paragraph describing a property of magnets that you discovered and how that can be used in real life. The final conclusion can begin with the first paragraph that includes magnets attracting metal objects and not attracting plastic ones. The paragraph will also include a supposition that giant magnets can be used to separate garbage for recycling.
