Books with title Magnet

Magnet Max loves experimenting with magnets. He knows all about how they work and loves using them to attract new types of things. But when he shows them to his friend Nick, the other boy is baffled. Will magnets stick to a paperclip? A refrigerator? A horse? How do they work, anyway? It must be magic! Join Max and Nick as they explore the science behind the magic. Discover which objects are attracted and why some are while others aren't. In Magnet Max, Monica Hughes uses her experience as an educator to explain scientific concepts in clear, easy-to-follow language. Catchy rhymes and the colorful illustrations of Holly Weinstein add to the fun. Watch your children's curiosity come to life as they explore the wonders of magnetism with Magnet Max!

Originally published as the Junior Science Book of Magnets, this book is a reprint of Rocco Feravolo's 1960 elementry science book. The work provides a fundamental introduction to the physics of magnets, both metallic and electromagnets. Covered in the discussion is an explanation of why magnets attract, experiments demonstrating their properties, how to make a magnet, how to use them in compasses, and how they are used in industry. Reproductions of the artwork by Evelyn Urbanowich enhance the student's understanding of the concepts discussed. The text includes a Table of Contents and Index.

This very simple photographic book invites the reader to predict and test theories of magnetic forces on common objects. Very interactive.Seedling books help beginning readers grow through engaging stories and kid-friendly photos and artwork. Best for reading at the earliest stages, these books use clear print, ample spacing, limited vocabulary, and simple story lines to help children practice word building, improve fluency, and garner a love for reading. Seedling has an established reputation both in the classroom and at home as one of the best book collections for young readers.

What happens if you put two magnets together? What objects are attracted to a magnet? How strong is a magnet? And how do we use magnets in our everyday lives? Using items that kids can easily find around their homes, young students will get the chance to transform into scientists and carry out step-by-step experiments to answer these intriguing questions. Along the way, children will pick up important scientific skills as they investigate magnets, make and record observations, and draw conclusions. Magnetsincludes at least seven experiments with detailed, age-appropriate instructions, great facts and background information, a "Conclusions" section to pull all the concepts investigated in the book together, and a glossary of science words. Colorful, dynamic designs and images truly put theFUNinto FUN-damental Experiments!
