Some materials are attracted by magnets, some are not
A material which is attracted by magnets is called a magnetic material
7
Open Ended
Is every type of metal magnetic? If you don't know - Google it now! Give some examples.
8
Magnetic metals
Iron is a magnetic material. Steel is mostly made of iron, so most types of steel are magnetic too
Nickel and cobalt are two other magnetic metals
Many strong magnets are made from a metal called neodymium
