Magnets are really cool.
Anything thats magnetic will stick to them.
But check that you keep magnets away from computers and cell phones because they can damage them.
Collect a bunch of small objects from around your house.
Touch a magnet to the objects, one by one.
Which ones stick to the magnet and which ones dont?
Sort them into a pile of things that do, and a pile of things that dont.
Whether or not something is magnetic depends on what its made of.
How close does the magnet have to be to an object to get to pull on it?
Take two magnets and bring them close together.
Depending on how youve positioned them, they will either pull or push on each other.
Like the earth, magnets have two poles, called north and south.
Two north poles will push against each other, and so will two south poles.
But a north pole and a south pole will pull on each other.
The earth is also a giant magnet, which is why compasses work.
