In this activity about magnetism (page 4 of the PDF), learners will experiment with magnets and different objects to find out that not all metals are attracted to magnets. Even though there are only a few supplies listed, the possibilities are really endless when it comes to what learners can try to attract to the magnet. Learners make predictions and compare their predictions to actual outcomes.
