I am curious to know if any of you know of any interesting lesson plan ideas to introduce magnetism to fourth grade students. The students absolutely love hands-on activities and engaging in discovery learning lessons and I want to do something fun and exciting to introduce this lesson, but I would love some more ideas on introducing this topic.

Hi Elizabeth,  Check out the Exploratorium's Science Snacks portal, and search for "magnet." You'll find several activities on magnetism that may work well for your class. http://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks
