magnetism

Learn the fundamental concepts of magnetism: positive and negative forces, the North and South Poles and why opposites attract. Learn common uses of magnets through a hands-on activity.

Introduces students in grades five through eight to key concepts in physics, focusing on magnetism, using visuals and experiments to discuss poles, magnetic fields, domains, spinning atoms, the use of magnetism in music, compasses, and Earth's magnetic field. Includes review segments.

Introduces readers to the concept of magnetism, illustrating how magnets work and providing an activity to do with magnets.

"In this book, young readers are instructed in activities to teach them how magnets work"--Provided by publisher.

Explores the science of magnetism and discusses what magnets are, what they are made of and how they work, the shapes of magnets and the force around them, and the earth's magnetic field.

"David A. Adler covers the basics of magnetism. Terms such as attraction, pole, electromagnetism and force are ... explained ... [and illustrated]. Suggested activities include instructions to make your own magnet"--Provided by publisher.

Looks at magnets and how they work.

If you have a budding professional scientist, then this book will introduce them to hands-on experiments that teach physics concept they will never forget.

Explores the forces of magnetism and the use of magnets in everyday life for compasses, motors, and cranes. Includes a glossary and comprehension questions.
