Mini Magnet Maze

Setelah melakukan pencarian untuk dijadikan panduan bagi menjalankan aktiviti berkaitan topik Magnet Tahun 4, kami telah bertemu dengan sebuah aktiviti yang mampu menarik perhatian murid untuk mempelajari topik Magnet. Bahan yang digunakan untuk menjalankan aktiviti ini mudah didapati dan disediakan oleh guru. Marilah sama-sama mencuba aktiviti ini. 

Remember – not all metals are attracted to magnets, but iron and steel ( steel is mostly iron ) are.To make the mini maze ( and you could make a large version of this ) you need:

• Thick cardboard
• A Magnet
• Metal Paperclip
• Pens

Instructions

• Draw a maze on the cardboard.
• Draw a cardboard bug or any shape you like.
• Place a paperclip over the bug.
• Place the paperclip at the start of your maze and the magnet underneath the cardboard.
• As you move the magnet, the bug should move too.

First we had a play to see which type of objects a big magnet stuck to, once we’d decided metals were the key, we made some predictions about other objects and then tested them. You could even draw a table to make this activity a bit more formal
