Magnets pull metal because of a special kind of invisible power. Imagine you have a magic wand that can pull certain kinds of coins or keys from your pocket, that’s what magnets do! Some metals, like iron and steel, are especially good at being pulled by this magic force. Magnets are used in many things, like fridge doors, toy trains, and even electric cars!
Examples
- A fridge magnet sticks to the fridge because the metal inside the fridge aligns with the magnet’s invisible power.
- Your toy train moves around the track thanks to magnets that pull and push it along.
- A crane can lift heavy steel beams using a big magnet on its arm, like a giant hand made of magic.
