Since we established our Ravenswell G.A.A. team in September 2019, we have been thrilled to see consistent attendance and improvement at after-school training sessions every Tuesday.

Experiment Title: Inspector Detector Our experiment involved exploring the force of both magnets and magnetic fields. Before beginning our experiment we needed to get a little bit of background information on magnets, their force, and their uses. With this in mind we did a mini lesson on magnets and magnetism.
