Magnetic Experiments
Magnets have a special power that enables them to attract
other magnetic things such as iron and steel.
As you will see from these magnetic experiments, magnetism
(the invisible force) can pull through some materials such as paper
and plastic.
Paper clips are made of steel. If you hold a paper
clip close to a magnet, you can feel the magnet pulling on the paper
clip with an invisible force called magnetism.
All magnets have two ends or poles. If you put
the poles of two magnets together, they will either pull together
or push apart. They will pull (attract) each other if the poles
are different. They will push (repel) each other if the poles
are the same.
Experiments with magnets will help you to find out more
about the way magnetism works and how it can be passed on to some
other objects.
Look for magnets in old toys or on
fridge stickers, or buy a bar or horseshoe magnet from a toy shop.
