Magnets and Motors Blog #1

Hey Kids,

Tell the class what you know about magnets and electricity in a blog response. Include what you know, what you'd like to know, and some interesting questions that we might be able to explore!

Be cool,
Mr. P

I know that opposite poles attract and like poles repel. I know that electricty can power a light bulb, a computer and many other things.I know that there are two types of circuts a stright circut and a parallel circut. Magnets can erasse the memorry on cirten electric devices. I know that if you put your finger on that thing that goes into the outlet while it is plugged in, then you will get shocked (I know this because it has happned to me before.)I know that I know more about magnets and electricty but I can not think of it right now.

Everything has a magnetic field, yet not all are strong enough to attract. Like poles repel. Like poles atract. A battery can increase the power of a magnetic field to create an electromagnet. Not alll metals can attract.

This blog is written by Sarah Ray. I know the south and south repel, north and north repel as well. I know that south and north attract. Magnents bring force to parts of the magnents that have a larger surface area. Also, when repelling, the magnents sometimes "bounce." Magnents are very forceful, and I think this study of magnents will be very fun.

I know that magnets have a north and south side and positive and negative.Most steel things are magnetic.North and North repel and south and south repel. Electricity is from energy and solor pawered is from the sun.I really don't how to explain what i know about electricity.

I know that like poles repel, opposite poles attract, everything has a magnetic field but some are not that strong. Not all metals are attracted to magnets, some magnets are stronger that others, magnets can temporarily mess up some computer screens (I did this to the computers at my elementary school in grade 2), they can fry from certain electric devices. There are two circuits straight and parallel, static is caused by opposite charges being rubbed together, being shocked is a way of transferring electricity, lighting is a form of static, rubber stops electricity because it is anon conductive material. I also know more stuff but I am too tired to say now because it is almost 10:00. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I know that north and south attract. North and North repel, and so do South and South. When you rub certain things with magnets, they become magnetic. There are some natural elements that are magnetic.
