High School Physics Department: Fun Magnetic Battle

June 6, 2024

On June 4, 2024, in classroom 213 of Zhentao Building, Ms. Zheng Xiaoyan led an extraordinary House activity. This event, named "Fun Magnetic Battle," aimed to delve into the mysteries of magnetism through a game-based approach, allowing students to explore in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

At the beginning of the activity, Ms. Zheng introduced the magnetic field and its characteristics, emphasizing the relationship between magnetic strength and distance. Then, she presented the specially designed game prop—a board with magnetic steel beads—and explained the rules of the game thoroughly. The students eagerly jumped into this fun and engaging physics game.

The game rules were intriguing: Each player started with a set number of magnetic steel beads and took turns placing them on the special board. As the beads were arranged, students had to pay close attention to the interactions between them, as once beads attracted each other due to magnetism, the player who caused the attraction had to take away all the clustered beads. The goal of the game was to successfully place all one's beads, requiring players to carefully consider and devise the best placement strategy.

A fierce battle of wits and courage unfolded between the students. Every time beads attracted each other successfully, it sparked cheers and applause. There were unexpected surprises, daring gambles, and sudden turnarounds...

This "Fun Magnetic Battle" gave students a more intuitive understanding of the interaction of magnets and allowed them to observe the characteristics of magnets beyond the textbook. While enjoying the fun of the game, students also profoundly experienced the practicality and fascinating nature of physics knowledge.
