What do you learn:
Magnets are used in so many ways! They are found in toys, bags, refrigerator doors and even trains! Useful inventions using magnets have made our lives easier. This is your chance to give it a try. When you play on the seesaw, you have to push yourself off the ground to go up and repeat this again and again. What about inventing a self-moving seesaw? It will be super easy and fun! Apply your understanding of how magnets attract and repel. Construct your own seesaw toy! The challenge is to place the magnets correctly so that you can move your seesaw up and down and not get stuck!

For the HOT! (Hands-on-Time) segment, explore the different ways to make your ring magnets float or stick together as you put them through the test tube! Put the assorted materials provided into the test tube and move them out with your magnet. Go around your house to explore materials that either repel or attract your magnet!
