steel, cobalt and nickel) is called the magnetic field. The force between a magnet and a magnetic material is always one of attraction. The strength of the magnetic field depends on the distance from the magnet. The field is strongest at the poles of the magnet. The direction of the magnetic field at any point is given by the direction of the force that would act on another north pole placed at that point. The direction of a magnetic field line is from the north (seeking) pole of a magnet to the south (seeking) pole of the magnet. Describe why steel is magnetic. Explain what is by the magnetic field of a magnet. Describe how to distinguish between a magnetic material and a magnet by experiment. Describe where the strongest point of a magnet is and how this is shown by the magnetic field pattern. Describe how the strength of the magnetic field varies with distance from the magnet. magnet?

Floating paper clip challenge. Can students make a paper clip float in mid-air? Investigate the difference between magnetic materials and permanent magnets. Investigate the strength of a permanent magnet at various points along its length to show that the magnet is strongest at the poles. This can be demonstrated with the iron filings investigation. Plan and out an experiment to find out how the strength of a magnet changes with the distance from the magnet.
