A magnet attracts certain objects, as if by magic. But not all of them!
Mission 1: Predict
Take 10 objects: paperclip, coin, eraser, key, spoon, pencil, aluminum foil, screw, button, pebble. Guess which ones will be attracted.
Mission 2: Test
Bring the magnet close to each object and mark ✅ or ❌.
What you discover
The magnet mainly attracts objects made of iron. Plastic, wood, and paper do not react.
Mission 3: Through
Does the magnet work through a sheet of paper? A book? Count the pages!
🤯 Did you know?
The Earth itself is a giant magnet! That is why a compass needle always points north. A magnet has two poles: two identical poles repel each other, while two different poles attract each other.
The compass challenge
Rub a needle with a magnet, place it on a sheet of paper floating in water: it will turn toward the north!
