Tricky Paper Clip Challenge

We continued learning about magnets this week and we experimented with a cup of water that had a paper clip at the bottom. The kids had to figure out how to get the paper clip out of the cup without putting their hands in the cup and (first time I've had a student stick the magnet wand into the cup of water) too easy! They finally figured it out that they had to run the magnet wand along the side of the cup to attract the paper clip and then drag the magnet up and the paper clip will come right out and stick to the magnetic wand! It was like magic! I loved seeing their faces when they were finally able to get the paper clip out!
