My Project
My students thrive on learning abstract concepts through hands on activities. In our learning of magnetism and how it works, how forces work across a distance, and the chain reactions that take place, students are required to understand abstract concepts. Using this magnetic game approach, they will use critical thinking skill in placement and understanding of how the magnetic forces attract each other and become stronger when they join together. This game allows them to physically experience the invisible forces at work.
My goal is to allow each and every student to be engaged in a fun activity all while learning and experiencing the concept first hand.
They will see the movement of the magnets and hear the sound of them coming together as they clack loudly when hitting. This is a cross cutting concept into the energy being used, addressing an additional standard. In addition to the game, labs can be conducted to see how far away two magnets can attract one magnet, or will four pull from a further distance.
My students enjoy having friendly competition and playing games together while learning concepts. They work hard to understand concepts and need the concrete visuals to help with abstract ideas. This can help them relate the items and think outside the box.
