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.
