third day of building

today we work with earth magnets. earth magnets are rather dangerous for the snap back together quickly and with a lot of force. also because they can demagnetise phones computers and credit cards. the first thing we did was cut out two circulars from a piece of cardboard each 12cm in diameter. i glued the two pieces of together with the grain going perpendicular to make the card board stronger. we then hot glued 4 washers onto the cardboard. then we where suppose to place the magnets onto each of the washers but when i was pealing the magnets apart one slipped and to go directly onto the other magnet and i had to go to Ms Lopez to get them separated. went to place the third washer on one of the magnets and its washer jumped up and got my hand when i was separating them one fell and it broke. we where not able to make any further progress with out the magnets.
