Magnets


We are studying magnets in Science. We have learned many things about magnets thus far.

  1. There are different shapes of magnets: bar, horseshoe, disc, ring, and cylinder. 
  2. When something is magnetic, it can pull things with steel or iron towards the magnet. 
  3. The two ends of a magnet are called the north and south poles. These are the parts where the magnets are strongest. 
  4. Around these poles is an area known as a magnetic field. In the magnetic field, other magnetic objects can be drawn to the magnet.
