🔮 Of course there's a scientific explanation for magnetism, but magnets have spurred all kinds of myths and mysteries throughout history! For example: 🪄 Ancient Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus (c. 600 BCE) believed that magnetic materials like lodestones had their own souls! 🪄 In the Middle Ages, magnets were thought to have magical properties. Many Europeans wore them as amulets to protect themselves from evil spirits! 🪄 Early alchemists and scientists believed magnets could attract cosmic energy because they could move objects without touching them. This National Magic Day, explore the mysteries of magnetism with the Magic Penny Magnet Kit, featuring 35 custom coins and 46 astounding magnetic activities. https://lnkd.in/g7Tf7GTx #magnets #magnetism #homeschool #homeschoolers #teachers #teaching #education #STEM #STEMlearning #NationalMagicDay #magic #classroomactivities
