Hello there!
Welcome back.

Today, lets explore the wonderful characteristics and properties of a magnet.

Step 1) Read the learning objective first

Learning Objectives:
1) Make and test predictions about whether materials are magnetic or not.
2) Know that magnets attract some metals but not others and that other materials are not attracted to magnets.
3) Use results to draw conclusions, indicating whether they were right in their prediction about which materials were magnetic.

Step 2)Please try the below interactive exercise and complete the quiz after the activity.
