Printable Magnet Worksheets for First Grade Science Review

📚 Topic Summary

Magnets are special objects that can pull certain metals towards them. This pulling force is called magnetism. Not everything is attracted to magnets, but things like iron, nickel, and cobalt are! Magnets have two ends, called poles: a north pole and a south pole. When you bring two magnets close together, opposite poles attract (pull together), and like poles repel (push away).
