Magnet Sculpture
Magnet Sculpture
Time
- 15 to 30 minutes
Materials
- Bar magnet
- Small paper clips
Directions
- This activity challenges experience with gravity. Magnetize the clips by rubbing them on the bar in one direction.
- Once they have acquired a magnetic field, they can be stood end to end vertically, connected horizontally, or moved to form amazing shapes.
Extensions
- See how tall you can make a sculpture.
- Bring the clips out as far as you can horizontally without tipping them over.
