I made these magnet discovery bottles for our magnets unit that we just started. They are just old tennis ball containers. I have 5 different bottles all filled with random things and one object that is magnetic. There is one bottle with bingo markers that have a metal rim, another with screws, paper clips, clothespins and the last bottle has keys in it. I use beads and cereal to fill up the bottle and disguise the magnetic object. The kids then used a magnetic wand to run up the side of the bottles and pull up the object that was magnetic. We then recorded what we found on the sheet. The kids loved using these discovery bottles!
