Magnet

What magnets attract — magnetic materials like iron and steel — and what they do not, with an interactive exercise.

A magnet can pull (attract) some objects towards it.

Magnets attract objects made of iron and steel. These are called magnetic materials. Objects made of plastic, wood, paper or glass are not attracted — they are non-magnetic.

Remember

  • Magnets attract iron and steel (magnetic materials).
  • Plastic, wood, paper and glass are not attracted.
