Fun fact: Did you know that the first magnets were pieces of rock, called "lodestones"? These rock contain magnetite, which is naturally attracted to iron. What if told you we could make our own magnets? That's right! It's called magnetic induction and we're going to try it today! Basically, if you run a magnet several times over an unmagnetized piece of a magnetic material (such as an iron nail), you can convert it into a magnet as well. This is called magnetization.
Let's think about the following questions together before we start our investigation:
Are you ready to make your own magnet? Please take out your "Making a Magnet" activity sheet as well as a pencil, eraser and Science kit. (Check out the LearnoHub's video below to perform this simple DIY science experiment at home.)
