What My Sister Taught Me About Magnets

Grades 2 - 3    

What My Sister Taught Me About Magnets is a realistic, fictional account of a girl who loves to investigate magnets. She investigates the similarities and differences among magnets of different shapes, sizes, and strengths. Through a series of “speeches,” the girl explains to her older sister what she has learned by investigating, and the ways in which she compared different magnets. The sisters learn about the similarities and differences between magnets of a variety of shapes and sizes, including: like poles repel, and opposite poles attract; some magnets have more magnetic force than others; and magnets attract only some kinds of metal. The book also provides data about what materials are attracted to magnets.

What My Sister Taught Me About Magnets models ways of investigating magnets, recording data, making explanations, and the use of comparative language.
