Magnets For Kids ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ - +++++++++++++++

Introduction Did you ever want to know where magnets come from and what they are? , or What a magnet field is or how it works? Maybe even what magnet poles are and how they work? Did you ever wonder how you can magnetize an object and what that means? And why a compass works? Well this is the right informational paper for you. In this paper I will answer and explain all the questions I listed above. If you don’t want to know any of the questions above this is not the paper for you.

What is a magnet? A magnet is an object that has a north and south pole and also attracts and repels. It is a metal block that attracts to iron, steel, brass, zinc, copper, bronze, aluminum, silver, gold, mercury, nickel, tungsten, and magnesium. Some people think that magnets attract to all metal, but it doesn't it only attracts to certain kinds of metals (and not just the ones that I listed above).

Where do magnets come from? Magnets come from a place called Magnesia Europeans used to go past it and their ship used to just fall apart. People thought that magnesia was haunted but it really wasn’t their nails on the ship were attracted to the rock called lodestone and the ship fell apart. They used that information to make the compass which is down below (not right below though).They found out that magnets attract, navigate, that the magnets have two poles, and that the opposite sides attract.

What is a magnetic field? It is the attracting and repelling boundary of a magnet.it is like a circle around a magnet that has its limits to how far it can attract or repel. North poles together repel (vice versa) and south and north poles attract.

What the poles are and how they work? Do you know about the icy cold North and South Pole? I guess you know about that but did you know that the earth is a big magnet? That is how compasses work. They work by the North Pole and the South Pole and the magnetic fields they have to make the compass needles point to whatever pole they are supposed to be pointing to.Bold text'''
