Lesson 1 Magnetism
What’s New
Look at the pictures below. Put a connecting line on the objects
that you think would attract to a magnet.
What is It
Can you tell why these materials get attracted to a magnet? What are
they made of? Why are the other materials not get attracted to a magnet?
Magnetism is the force that acts on objects made of nickel, iron, and
cobalt and makes them move.
needle
nail
paper
clip scissors
key
Remember these:
Magnets are objects that can attract other objects made up of iron,
nickel, and cobalt such as nails, metal spoons, paper clips,
thumbtacks.
It has an invisible magnetic field.
Materials that are non-metals are not attracted to a magnet such as
rubber, plastics, and woods.
There are several types of magnet like a rectangular magnet, a bar
magnet, ring magnet, and horseshoe magnet.

What I Can Do
One Saturday morning, Claire was doing her homework on Home Economics
subject about the different types of stitches. It was very hard for her to hold the
needles because she might get stabbed by it, so she asked for the assistance of her
mother. Claire’s mother is a dressmaker. That is why it was easy for her to assist
Claire with stitches. Mother asked her to buy more needles at the store. Claire went
back home holding the needles and when she entered the door, she accidentally
dropped the needles on the floor. There were so many needles scattered on the floor
and she was having difficulties in picking them up.
Questions:
3. If you were Claire, what will you do to pick all the needles easily ?

What’s New
3.Put the south pole of the bar magnet to the south pole of
the other bar magnet. Observe what happens. Illustrate
your observation
4. Put the south pole of the bar magnet
to the south pole of the other bar
magnet. Observe what happens.
Illustrate your observation.
5. Now, put the north pole of the bar magnet to the south pole
of the other bar magnet. Observe what happens.
Illustrate observation.
6. Try to move the north pole of a bar magnet towards the south pole of
the other bar magnet.
Questions:
1. What happens when the same poles of a magnets face each other?
2. What happens when the opposite poles of a magnets face each other?
What is It
The force exerted by a magnet on a certain material is either push or
pull, it is called magnetic force. The force exerted by it is invisible. Magnets
may differ in sizes and shapes, but they all have the same properties. Look at
the picture below.
As you can see, most of the iron filings stick to the magnet. The place
where the magnetic force of a magnet is strongest is at its ends. These ends
are what we call the poles. All magnets have two poles, N stands for north pole
and S for the south pole. When the same pole face near each other, they will
repel or push each other away. When the opposite pole face near each other,
they will attract or pull each other together.
See illustrations below the attraction and repulsion of a magnet.
Remember:
Assessment

a. copper c. plastic
b. wood d. iron
