Magnets

From going over the chapter what are somethings that you found have magnets in them that you didn't know about before?

I knew that compasses had magnets in them but i didnt know exactly how it worked. I also didnt know that you can make your own magnets with coils and what not. Also i didnt know that earth acts like a magnet too.

I found that the earth has a giant magnet in it. The magnet in the earth has magnetic poles on the North and South poles of the Earth. I didnt realize that the earth kind of had a giant magnet in it.

I didnt know that the earth has magnetic poles and the distance from the poles. I didnt know what electromagnetics are and how they work. I also didnt know about galvanometers and what they test. I also didnt know elmo had anything to do with science (he is on page 235). I also learned about generators and turbines.

I have found that there are magnets in our telephones and also tvs. There are also magnets in video games and Cd players and your headphones that you use also contain magnets in them. I really did not know that there was magnets in all of those different materials.

Compasses have magnets and so do refrigerators. Making your own magnets seems tough but you could do it. And I didnt know about all of the other things that have magnets in them.

I knew that eletric motors had some type of magnet in them because i knew thats how they worked but i never really saw the inside of it. I also didnt know how a compass worked. So magnets are really cool.

I learned that our Earth has a big magnet in it. It has poles on the Southern point and Northern point of the Earth. (Also called the North and South poles.) I learned alot.

One thing i didn't know about magnets is that even if you break a magnet, the smallest piece will still have a north and south pole. I also didn't know that a lot of things had magnets in them, like tvs and phones. I did't know about magnetic domains either.

I found that earth has a giant magne. I knew how to make electro magnets also i knew how a compass worked sort uv. i Also knew that the earth had magnetic poles on it North and south poles

I fount that earth has a magnet. This is that the earth has 2 megnetic poles. One in the north and one in the south.

I found out about the magnetic poles on earth. The north and the south poles. Also that there are charges all over the earth. I knew that magnets that have a positive charge and a negative charge go together but if the have the same charge they will repel.

I did not realize that if you take a magnet and break it in half, both pieces will still have a north and a south pole. I also did not really understand how a compass works. Another thing that I knew, but did not really think about is that the Earth is basically one big magnet.

That there are magnetic poles, and that earth is like a magnet. I knew about the force fields but not really what they did.

I knew the whole compass-north pole-magnet thing, but not exactly how it all worked together. I also knew about the electromagnet making, but i didnt know that u could make it temporary & permanent. I really had no clue about the galvanometers & still dont really understand them, but ha o well.

I found out that the Earth has a magnet inside of it. The North and South poles are the magnetic poles of the magnet. I also knew that compasses had magnets in them to help determine which direction you are going. I also found out that magnets are in tvs and telephones and stuff. I also learned more about making magnets like with coils and other stuff.
