A question for the whole room
One story to open. A room full of ideas to test.
Ready in three steps
- Open the story.Read and try the first pages together.
- Pause for a prediction.At the story’s question, read its choices aloud. Invite a vote and ask, “What makes you think that?”
- Run it. Watch. Wonder.Choose the class’s prediction, run the experiment, and compare what happened with your guesses.
Different guesses are welcome. The experiment gives everyone something to rethink.
Something to put on paper
A one-page prediction and observation sheet. No answers included.
After the experiment: discussion notes
Talk about what happened
- Use same-versus-different relationships to explain an unseen magnet interaction without relying on paint colors.
- Separate force direction from force strength when the gap changes.
- Explain why cutting a magnet does not produce one north-only and one south-only piece.
Where it shows up in real life
- A cabinet latch that pulls shut
- A compass needle turning near a bar magnet
- Guided magnetic bearings and train demonstrations that constrain sideways motion
