Magnets Play

A magnet pulls iron toward it with a special force. Iron things like clips and nails stick firmly, but paper, wood, and plastic do not. Every magnet has an N pole and an S pole: opposite poles attract, like poles push apart. Slide the two magnets closer or farther and the pull grows stronger.

Examples and Unit Test

Example 1
What happens when you face the N pole and S pole of magnets together? What about the same poles?
1
When an N pole and an S pole (different poles) meet, they pull toward each other.
2
When N and N, or S and S (the same poles) meet, they push each other away.
▸ Different poles = attract / same poles = repel
The closer the magnets, the stronger the pull or push.
Example 2
Among a nail, a wooden stick, and a plastic cup, which one sticks to a magnet?
1
A magnet sticks to objects that contain iron.
2
A nail is made of iron so it sticks, but wood and plastic do not.
▸ The nail (made of iron, so it sticks to a magnet)
Wood, plastic, paper, and glass do not stick to a magnet.
