Magnets and Static Electricity

The video tutorial introduces magnets, explaining their properties and how they attract metal objects, especially those containing iron. It includes a hands-on activity to explore magnetism using magnets, paper clips, and plastic objects. The tutorial also covers magnetic forces by observing interactions between two magnets. Additionally, it demonstrates static electricity through activities involving a balloon and a plastic rod, explaining the cause and effect of these forces.

What materials were attracted to the magnet during the activity?

Describe the forces exhibited by the magnets when they were brought close to each other.

What observations did you make when you rubbed the balloon against your sweater?

Explain the cause and effect relationship of the forces at work when the balloon was moved towards your head.

What did you observe when you moved the plastic rod or comb towards the pieces of paper?
