Magnet Trays and Scale Weighing

This science unit is about magnets and the use of scales.

Here are examples of a variety of trays that are successful for the youngest and oldest in a classroom.

This is a favorite where one places the object under
 that thing I don't know the name of. You can see the impression of the ladder under the thing. Can't know everything!
