Great choice, Junior Scientist! Today we're doing the "Magnetic Fishing Game" experiment. Let me explain what we'll discover together. Magnets only attract certain metals, mostly iron and steel. Some metals like aluminum coins aren't magnetic. Plastic and wood never stick — that's why only some objects get 'caught'!

🧰 Materials Needed

Magnet on a string (fishing rod)

Mixed small objects: paperclip, coin, key, plastic toy, button, screw

Bowl or tray

📋 Setup Instructions

Tie a magnet to a string to make a fishing rod. Put mixed objects in a bowl.
