Read the text then do the activities
Magnets have a special power that enables them to attract other magnetic things such as
iron, steel, cobalt and nickel. Magnets have two main forces - push and pull. Magnetism (the invisible
force) can push and pull even 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 (North & South). 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, and try to do this experiment by your own
at home.
