Magnets
Ages 6-10Beginner
Magnets are special objects that can attract (pull) certain metals like iron and nickel. They also have two ends called poles — the North Pole and the South Pole.
⚡ Fun Fact:Opposite poles attract each other (North + South = attract), but same poles repel each other (North + North = push away). This is called the law of magnetism!
Earth itself is a giant magnet! That's why compass needles always point North. Compasses help people find directions using Earth's magnetic field.
