In Science, we are learning about magnetism. This week, we took part in an investigation to find out if all 1p and 2p coins are magnetic. We found out that only some of the coins were magnetic, and this depended on when they were made. If coins were made before 1992 they were non-magnetic because they are made from bronze.
