3LS have been diving deeper into our expedition today, exploring magnets and properties of magnetic materials. We’ve been predicting and testing which objects will be attracted and repelled by magnets. Did you know that not all metals are attracted to magnets? We found a 1p from 1971 that was not attracted to a magnet and a 1p from 1998 that was. Even more amazingly, we have discovered that magnets can attract objects from a distance and even through other objects! The force can attract a penny through two other coins.
