During a recent science study on magnets, we had a lot of fun playing with magnets and testing various items in the classroom to see which were magnetic and which were not. We learned about the two poles on a magnet, and we learned the fancy words "attract" and "repel" (and got to see these words in action as we explored our magnets).
We combined our study of magnets with the Bible lesson about Jesus calling His disciples. "I will make you fishers of men," He told them. So we went fishing! I cut out a bunch of paper fish, then attached a paper clip to each one. Rulers and pointers made for good poles, and I tied ribbon to each, along with a magnet at the end. Students got to walk through the room and "catch" fish by touching the magnet at the end of their poles to a fish's paper clip.
They loved this activity, and it was fun to do a little cross-curricular learning. 😊 The more we can integrate, the better they learn!
