Exploring Magnets
A magnet that pulls iron nails yet ignores wood and plastic raises puzzles that NCERT Curiosity for Class 6, Chapter 4, explores through hands-on testing. The chapter has learners sort magnetic and non-magnetic materials, locate the two poles where attraction is strongest, and discover that like poles repel while unlike poles attract. Activities with compass needles, bar magnets, and stored magnets show how magnets point north and south, how they can magnetise iron, and how to handle and store them safely.
