This is an online interactive resource which the teacher and children can be involved in. This resource in my opinion is good to use after the children have gained a lot of information about the topic of magnetism and have completed a number of experiments involving magnets. It involves a virtual space where the children can test and see which objects will be attracted to the magnets and they can give the reasons why or why not. There are worksheets which are free to download from this website which can be given to the children based on the interactive work about magnets.
