Magnetic Facts
Magnetic Materials
- Only metals are attracted to magnets
- No other materials are attracted to magnets i.e. wood, plastic, glass and everything else are not attracted to magnets.
- Not all metals are attracted to magnets - iron and steel are attracted to magnets whereas aluminium, copper and brass are not attracted to magnets.
- Some magnets are stronger than others. If one magnet hold more paper clips than another magnet then it is a stronger magnet.
- A magnet can pick up some objects like paper clips without even touching them…an invisible force. This invisible force can pull through some materials such as paper and plastic.
- Remember that only metals are magnetic, but not all metals are magnetic.
