What a blast from the past, right? I bet you're wondering what we were studying. Well, if you listen to the chorus, (which is what we listened to in class) I bet you can figure it out for yourself.
That's right! MAGNETS!

Check out this video for proof!
My students had the best time watching the magnets chase each other on the ELMO. I let everyone hold one magnet and I let them feel the 'push' from the other magnet.

How fun! And who knew that Paula Abdul could be educational?
