Integrated Project...block 2...development

Well, after finding out about all the magnetic properties of starlings I decided, on advice of a lecturer, to try out some iron filings...the last time I had seen any iron filings was in this old game...

I experimented with moving the filings around from underneath some paper with various sizes of magnets...

I was very pleased with the results I got. The filings looked like the shapes murmurations make in the sky, the only problem I had was that I needed to find a more secure surface as the paper had a tendency to buckle and warp as the magnets moved the filings around...

I tied to secure it with books and candle holders and all sorts but the paper wasn't strong enough, so I opted to use a streched canvas instead.
