Mystery Solved!
Hi I'm Jacob and I'm telling you about what we discovered about the water bottle and the magnet sticking on to it. On Wednesday September 24 we got out at 12:30 because the teacher's had to go to Hamilton to learn more about science. A few days later Miss. Golden told us that it wasn't the water that made it stick. We know this because we flipped the water bottle upside down (there was still water in it) we put the magnet on the top and it didn't work. We found out that there must be iron on the bottom of the bottle. Then

Science with Magnets
Hi I'm Jacob. My class has been doing science. We were working with doughnut magnets. When we were working with the magnets we tested to see what the magnets stuck to and which they didn't stick to. Then, we had to write down what things they stuck to and didn't stick to. We thought magnets only stuck to all metal but then we realized it sticks to iron. One time Miss Golden put a magnet on her water bottle and it didn't stick but when Jorge put the magnet on the bottle where the water was it stuck on.

//In the first picture, the magnet won't stick, but in the second picture, when it's where the water is, it sticks!//

We also stuck two magnets together. Did you know that if you flip one magnet over they repel, and if you flip both of them over they attract and stick together? That's because there are north poles and south poles. If you stick the north pole and the north pole again then they repel, but if you stick the south pole and the north pole they attract. I can't wait for my next experiment!
