We've spent the last several days experimenting with magnets and racing magnet cars.  The kids figured out through trial and error how to move the cars without touching them.  They experimented with the magnets and learned what kinds of materials are magnetic and which aren't.

We also "fished" for magnetic letters and practiced writing the letters on white boards.
