- Magnets are objects that produce an area of magnetic force called a magnetic field.
- Magnetic fields by themselves are invisible to the human eye.
- Magnets only attract certain types of metals, other materials such as glass, plastic and wood aren't attracted.
- Magnets have a magnetic north pole and a magnetic south pole. If the same pole of two magnets are placed near each other they will push away (repel), while if different poles are placed near each other they will pull together (attract).
- We also looked at different names and types of magnets as you will see below.
Following on from our work on electricity in the strand of energy and forces we looked at magnetism. We learned that HERE WE ARE EXPERIMENTING WITH MAGNETS DURING SCIENCE STATIONS...WE HAD LOTS OF FUN... Comments are closed.
