Magnets work like magic, but there's a reason for the pull! Imagine each magnet is made of tiny invisible dancers called atoms. These dancers all spin in the same direction, and when they do that together, they create an invisible hand that pulls other magnets, or even paper clips, toward them.
Examples
- A fridge magnet sticks to the fridge without touching it.
- Two bar magnets pull each other when you bring them close together.
- Your phone can hold a note on the back because of a magnet.
