Testing Magnetic Materials

You can test different thing in your home or school to see if they are magnetic. You need a magnet to test if different materials are magnetic.

Testing materials

Put a magnet near different materials to test if they are magnetic.
- Magnetic materials will experience a force from the magnet.
- Non-magnetic materials will NOT experience a force from the magnet.

What's in magnetic objects?

Magnetic objects contain some iron.
