Award-winning video and lesson investigations for young children on the topic of magnets

Product Description

Video and lesson investigations on the topic of magnets. Key concepts include:

  • Magnets attract some things.
  • Magnetism works whether the objects are touching or not.
  • Magnets can repel each other.
  • Magnetic force spreads through any iron, steel, cobalt or nickel object which touches a magnet.
  • These are the only ‘natural’ magnets.
  • Alloys, which are combinations of these metals, can also be magnetic. Non-magnetic substances are neither attracted nor repelled by magnets. Whether two magnets attract or repel each other depends on the position of their ‘poles’.
