Opposites Attract

Objective: Predict what poles of a magnet will be attacted or repelled by the pole of another magnet.

Let the student experiment with a set of common magnets. They will quickly find that one side of a magnet will either be attracted or repelled by one side of a different magnet.

Explain that the magnet has two poles: north and south. What else has two poles? (Earth)

Ask them to find a way to tell which pole is north and which pole is south.
