Likes Repel and Opposites Attract

In math we solved subtraction mysteries. Students used the knowledge they gained working through addition mysteries to solve subtraction mysteries like: 16 - __ = 8

In science today we learned that magnets have two poles:  a north pole (not the place where Santa lives) and a south pole.  When we put like poles of a magnet are put together (south and south OR north and north), we could feel them pushing away from each other (repel).  When we put opposite poles of a magnet together (north and south OR south and north), we could feel them pull together (attract)!
