In this science challenge we had to make a levitating pencil! We had 6 magnets, a pencil, a mirror, and a ball of clay. We had to figure out which magnetism the magnet was, attraction or repulsion. We had to switch and turn the magnets to make the magnetic pole just right. The attraction or repulsion between magnetic poles is called magnetic force, which is basically like negative and positive, like numbers, the same with magnets. Thank god for magnetic fields, because that allows the magnets to interact with each other, like move up and down which creates a levitating pencil!
