Magnetic personalities

These children enjoyed investigating with magnets.

What do you know about magnets? Do they always attract magnetic things towards them?

Think about what magnets are and where you have seen them used in real life.

Iron filings can be used to show magnetic fields created by magnetic such as the picture to the right magnet only attcrat certain types of metal other materials such as glass plastic and wood are't attracted. Metals such as iron nickel and cobalt.

  2. There is a pulling force called attrack and the second one is a pushing force called repel and the pushing it is called repel a pulling force is when it pulls stuff towards you and the pushing force is when it pushes stuff away from you and when it is non magnetic it is when it does nothing it is not push it is not pull it just stays still and stays in the persons hand.
