"We also tried to make little chains with our magnets." -Savahna

"We figured out that holding a magnet and something that is attracted to it and then putting something magnetic on that will leave some magnetism. So then what you were holding against the magnet acts like a magnet. It's called induced magnetism. My group and Ethan and Eli made a care out of magnets and we almost got it to move, but we were a little stuck on getting the wheels to stay on." -Liz

"Me and Ashton were using a nail or paperclip to move the magnet and we did a bunch of obstacle courses and we also made the nail stand up and moved it with the magnet." -Haylie
