Designed to help young children explore the properties of magnetism using simple experiments.

Uses experiments to investigate the force of magnetism, the different sizes of shapes of magnets, and their varied uses.

"Explains esssential facts about magnets, including magnetic fields, Earth's magnetism, electromagnets, and magnetic trains. Includes experiments"--Provided by publisher.

Text and experiments introduce the scientific properties of magnets, examining such topics as their strength, magnetic poles, and the making of magnets.

Explores the properties of magnets through experiments using equipment readily available in both homes and schools.

"While electricity and magnetism may seem like magic, there are concrete scientific ideas behind both that have allowed them to shape our modern world . . . breaks down key ideas including the movement of electrons and electromagnetism . . . challenges readers to analyze these concepts from the viewpoint of a scientist using the scientific method and hands-on experiments."--

Presents different experiments students can do with magnets.

Provides instructions for over fifty experiments demonstrating the properties of electricity and magnetism.

With step-by-step directions for experiments, chart and table templates to record findings, and discussion of science careers, this book explains that magnets do not attract all metals the same way and that scientists use magnets to make things move or to make electricity.
