Magnets

What Is a Magnet?

A magnet is a special piece of metal.
It has an invisible force called Magnetism.
Magnetism can pull certain metals toward the magnet.
Every magnet has two ends: a North pole and a South pole.

What Magnets Can Do

• They stick to the fridge, the door, and other metal things.
• They can pull a paperclip, a nail, or a screw toward them.
• When two magnets are close, they can push each other apart if the same poles meet.

Safe Magnet Play

• Never put a magnet in your mouth.
• Keep magnets away from phones, computers, and credit cards.
• Wash your hands after playing with magnets.
• Ask a grown‑up if you are not sure how to use a magnet.
