In this lesson, you’ll learn about an invisible force called magnetism that can move things without touching them. First, you’ll hear about the legend of Magnes where magnets get their name from. Then, you’ll get to test the force of magnetism on different materials before learning more about how magnets work.
What you’ll learn:
- What magnets and magnetism are
- Ferromagnetic vs. non-magnetic materials
- Different things magnets can do
