WHAT IS A MAGNET?
A magnet attracts some metals and other magnets. Magnets are mostly made from iron or alloys of iron. (iron that has been mixed with other metals). Magnets can attract (pull towards them) objects that are magnetic. Magnets can repel (push away) other magnets. The area where a magnet has an a effect is called a magnetic field.
The two ends of a magnet are called the North and South poles because magnets were first used as a compas to help travelleres find the way.
Very attractive
We use magnets every day. Knives can stick to a magnet on a knife rack because they are made of a magnetic material.
