Key Stage 1
Meaning
A magnet is an object that sticks to some metals.
About Magnets
- Magnets are very useful. We can use them to stick notes to the fridge.
Key Stage 2
Meaning
A magnet is a piece of equipment that can be used to do determine if a material is magnetic.
About Magnets
- Magnets are attracted to some metals. Those metals are magnetic but they are not magnets themselves.
- Magnets have two poles; North and South.
- When two North Poles are placed next to each other two magnets will repel each other.
- When two South Poles are placed next to each other two magnets will repel each other.
- When the North Pole of one magnet is placed next to the South Pole of another magnet they attract each other.
Examples
Magnets are attracted to some metals. Those metals are magnetic but they are not magnets themselves. | Magnets have two poles; North and South. |
Two magnets facing North-North will repel each other and two magnets facing South-South will repel each other. | Two magnets facing North-South will attract each other. |
Key Stage 3
Meaning
A magnet is an object that attracts Iron, Cobalt or Nickel.
About Magnets
- Magnets can be Permanent Magnets, Induced Magnets or Electromagnets.
- Magnets are attracted to some metals. Those metals are magnetic but they are not magnets themselves.
- Magnets have two poles; North and South.
- When two North Poles are placed next to each other two magnets will repel each other.
- When two South Poles are placed next to each other two magnets will repel each other.
- When the North Pole of one magnet is placed next to the South Pole of another magnet they attract each other.
