What Is Magnetic?!

We have been studying Magnetism and Electricity for the past two weeks or so. They've had all of their introduction notes and vocabulary thus far and have also completed two labs. One of our labs was prediciting what contents they thought would be magnetic in their bags they were given (full of aluminum foil, string, cotton, rubber bands, nails, screws, etc.). Then they were to use a donut magnet and test their predictions out. Afterwards they were to explore items around the room and predict what items they thought would be magnetic and then TEST their predicitions out.

Their job the next day was to create a visual representation to show what they knew was MAGNETIC and what they knew was NOT magnetic. They also had to include a definition and some additional details as they knew them.
