Magnets

That red and blue, metal object you see is called a magnet! A magnet is made of a north pole and a south pole. Magnets can use both a pushing and a pulling force to move objects. Magnets are everywhere!

Where can you find a magnet?

Opposite poles on magnets attract one another. The north pole and south pole pull toward one another.

The same poles repel one another. The north poles on both magnets push away from each other. The south poles on both magnets push away from each other.
