Greetings, Family!

In science class, we are beginning a unit called “Magnets.” During

this time, students will learn about the force of magnetism and the

properties of magnets. They will ﬁnd out which objects are attracted

by magnets, determine the strongest magnet in the classroom, and

turn an iron nail into a temporary magnet.

You can make science come alive for your child in and around your

home. Point out the appliances and devices around your home that

contain magnets. These may include electric can openers and door

locks on furniture. Experiment with refrigerator magnets to see what

else they stick to. Your participation can make science interesting and

real for your child.

During the ﬁrst section of this unit, your child will bring a magnet

home. Please help your child to determine which objects in the home

the magnet attracts. As you do, keep in mind that it is best not to

put magnets near televisions, VCRs, computers, discs, or tapes, as the

magnet could harm the electronics within these devices.

Finally, we can always use your help in the classroom. Do you or

other family members have a particular interest or special experience

with science? Would you be able to help with activities? If so, please

ﬁll out the form below and have your student return it to class.

Thank you very much for your help!
