 Magnetism Science Stations

Magnetism science stations are always a hit. Most of the time, I leave students' creations as a part of classroom display and room decoration. Nothing makes them more proud than the stuff they make themselves. 

Iron Fillings Station 

To create and see magnetic fields in action use iron fillings and a sheet of paper. The iron filings are not safe for students to touch or handle so this station has to be solely managed by the teacher.
Place the magnet(s) below the sheet of paper and carefully place the iron fillings on top, watch the magnetic field form and reshape itself as you move the position of the magnet(s).

 Making a Compass Station 

Making a compass in the classroom is fairly simple and it is perfect when done in groups. Magnetism doesn't only work through the air but through the water as well. 

In this activity, students learn how to make magnetize the iron nail.
