Description

It seems that cows are not the only creatures that accidentally eat a little metal now and then. Gregory is a goat and his parents are terrible eaters as the story goes. Their idea of gourmet food includes shoes, boxes, tires, wood, and some scraps of metal. The story is a wonderful introduction to the cow magnet and how farmers use magnets to help animals who accidentally eat scraps of metal.

After reading the story, the students make a most unusual discovery... there might be some scraps of metal in their iron-fortified cereal. See where we're going? Use our Nails For Breakfast Kit to extract food-grade iron filings from iron-fortified food and watch the students' jaws drop. Nothing short of WOW!
