You could try this – Present the children with a mixture of sand, paper clips and beads (or other non magnetic items that wont pass through a sieve) and ask the children what tools we can use to separate the items.

The idea is the sand can be sieved out and a magnet can be used the separate the paperclips from the rest of the objects.
