Class Activity Discussion

1. What are the properties of magnets?
   • Magnets have north and south poles that attract or repel each other.
2. How do we group materials to magnetic and non-magnetic?
   • Materials like iron and steel are magnetic, while wood and plastic are non-magnetic.
3. What are some common applications of magnetism?
   • Magnets are used in fridge magnets, compasses, credit cards, and electric motors.
4. How can you make a magnet?
   • Rubbing iron or steel with a magnet can make it magnetic.
5. What happens when opposite poles of magnets are brought together?
   • They attract each other.
6. What materials are attracted to magnets?
   • Iron, steel, nickel, and cobalt are attracted to magnets.
7. What do magnets repel?
   • Like poles of magnets repel each other.
8. Where are magnets commonly used to hold things?
   • Fridge magnets hold notes and pictures.
9. How do compasses use magnets?
   • Compass needles point north because of magnets inside them.
10. What information do magnetic strips on credit cards store?
    • Magnetic strips store information like card numbers and account details.
11. Why are magnets important in electric motors?
    • Magnets help electric motors work by creating motion.
12. Can magnets pick up any material?
    • Magnets only pick up materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt.
13. What do non-magnetic materials like wood and plastic do when brought near magnets?
    • They are not attracted to magnets and do not stick to them.
14. What are some examples of non-magnetic materials?
    • Wood, plastic, glass, and rubber are non-magnetic.
15. How do we use magnets to find hidden objects?
    • By moving a magnet near a surface, we can detect hidden nails or screws.
