MAGNETS

LESSON 1 : Types of Magnets 
These are some of the different shapes of magnets.



bar magnet

cylindrical magnet


 
 


 
circular magnet
ring magnet

horseshoe magnet
 


U-shape magnet

Magnet has North pole and south pole. Letter "N" represent north pole and letter "S" represent south pole.


LESSON 2: Attract or Repel

When we put two magnets close to each other, they can either attract or repel each other.
Different poles of magnets attract. Same poles of magnets repel.

a) South pole repels South pole.
b) North pole repels North pole.
c) South pole attracts South pole.




LESSON 3: Handling Magnets
             

This is how we handle magnets properly.



LESSON 4: Magnets Attract Some Materials

Objects which are made of iron are attracted to magnets. They are called magnetic objects.
Objects which are not attracted to magnets are called non-magnetic objects.

 ( i )These are some examples of magnetic objects:
                                          
 
   
 
screws                                         sciccors





metal ruler
 
 
paper clips

  





These are the ways the magnets attract the objects:



                                               














( ii ) These are some examples of non-magnetic objects :

chopsticks
washing sponge
                                                
soft toy



                                                                         
pencils









plastic bottles

LESSON 5: Uses Of Magnets
Magnets are used in many things such as in refrigerator, pencil case and compass.


Magnetic strip is used to close the refrigerator door firmly.



The magnetic needles help to show directions in the compass.



The magnetic bar is used to close the pencil case tightly.
