Magnets You will need: a magnet

A Work in groups of 4-5. Empty out your school bags and pockets
and use the magnet to find out what items stick to it.
B Why do only some of the items stick to the magnet?
Listen, read and find out.

There are two answers: they stick to each other or they push away from each other.
This is because magnets have two di erent parts. They’ve got a magnetic north

pole and a magnetic south pole. Two magnets with the same pole – two south poles
or two north poles – push away from each other. They do not stick to each other.
