    Magnets are attracted to some metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt. They are not attracted to other metals like copper, mercury, and gold or non-metals like aluminum, fabric, glass, plastic, and wood. The document describes an investigation where students predict and test which everyday materials are magnetic or not to determine their properties and better understand magnetism.

    Success Criteria

    • I can predict which materials are magnetic and which are not.
    • I can investigate which materials are magnetic and which are not.
    • I can explain what the terms attract and repel mean.
    What Is a Magnet?
    A magnet is a metal which attracts or repels other materials. A magnet is made of rock or
    metal. A magnet has a north end and a south end.

    When a magnet attracts another material, Using two bar magnets, see what happens
    there is a pulling force between the two when you put the two blue ends together, the
    objects. two red ends together and then a blue and a
    red end together.
    When a magnet repels another material,
    there is a pushing force between the two Can you think of any magnets used
    objects. at home?

    If you observe an object being attracted to a


    magnet, this is magnetism.

    Think about it! Have a Go!


    Investigating Magnetism
    Some materials are magnetic and others are not. You are going to predict and then
    investigate which materials are magnetic and which are not.

    You will need:


    •A pencil • A range of magnets
    •Pennies • Magnets and Materials Investigation Recording Sheet
    •A book
    •Paperclips
    •A drinking bottle
    •A glass jar with a lid
    •A wooden ruler
    •Pair of scissors
    •A drink can
    •Safety pin
    •A wooden spoon
    •A scarf
    •Hairgrips/slides
    Your Investigation
    You need to make sure your investigation is a fair test. That means you only change one part
    of the investigation when testing something. In this case, you will change the material you are
    testing.

    Instructions
    1.Arrange the objects in front of you.
    2.Write the names of the objects on the recording sheet.
    3.Before testing each object, think about whether it will
    be attracted or not attracted to the magnet, or repelled.
    This is called making a prediction. Write your prediction
    in the correct column.
    4.Test your prediction and write down your observations.
    5.Write a conclusion at the end of the investigation.
    The Outcome
    Think about the following:

    • Which findings surprised you?


    • What conclusions can you make from your investigation?
    Summary
    Magnets are attracted to some metals. They are not attracted to all metals.

    Iron, nickel, cobalt

    Copper, mercury, gold

    Aluminium, fabric, glass, plastic, wood


    Some pennies may have been magnetic
    – this is because some are made with
    steel which is magnetic but those made
    of copper are not.
