Notes

If you have other magnetic objects, you can add these to your bottle or make separate bottles for each item
Add in some non-magnetic items to use in a science lesson about what is magnetic and what isn't
Try adding mineral oil or baby oil to the bottle - Just add the magnetic objects, then fill the bottle around ⅔ to ¾ full of mineral or baby oil
You could add water instead of the mineral or baby oil, though this may cause the objects to rust
Rice could also be added instead of water or oil
