May the force be with you!

Hi Trevor,
We have been experimenting with lots of different magnets and have been quite surprised by what we have found out.
1) Tinfoil is non magnetic. We thought for sure that because it looks like metal it would be
magnetic.
2) Coins are not magnetic. They look metal too.
3) Spoons are made out of different kinds of metal and not all of them are magnetic.
4) The wire we used bends like a paperclip, which is magnetic, but the wire is non magnetic.
5) Some magnets are stronger than others.
6) If you are very careful and hold a magnet close to a magnetic object you can feel the force!
Have you found anything magnetic at Disney? Do any of the rides in the parks use magnets?
See you soon Trevor,
Your friends at school
