Lodestone

I am working on a lesson that I will be teaching in Primary this morning.  (What is Primary?  https://www.lds.org/topics/primary?lang=eng&query=Primary+defined).  I thought of incorporating the new magnet blocks I purchased this week.  As I was pondering these things I decided to  look up the word 'magnet' (and other related words) and discovered that a natural magnet is called a lodestone (or loadstone).

 I suppose I knew that once upon a time, since I have heard the word, but it is new to me AGAIN (if that is a thing one can say?).

Also, you can buy iron filings on Amazon

Hmm.  Looks like we can have more magnet fun!
