Invisible Force Fields are ONLY FOR MOVIES

Harrison had a special time set aside for him during his class. The time was for Teach & Tell. Harrison's chosen topic was magnets. He got a new magnet set a couple of weeks ago and has had fun doing experiments and just playing with them. While teaching Harrison about the magnets, I told him about the invisible force field which exists around all magnets. Well, apparently some movie has put it in Harrison's mind that invisible force fields are only allowed in science fiction!

Harrison said, "I won't say that magnets have an invisible force field." He watched me prove the force field. He proved the force field himself. But, he says his fellow students won't buy that.

His magnets are strong enough that if you lay one magnet on top of a six-kid's outstretched hand, and then put the other magnet underneath that outstretched hand, you can flip the top magnet. You can also feel the force field. Come visit Harrison and he will show you.

So, he did the experiment on each child's hand and told them about the north and south poles of magnets. He even got the trick to work on his teacher's hand and she loved it.
