The title of this booklet already indicates the significance of magnetism: the phenomenon of attraction and repulsion is fundamental to all processes in physics and chemistry. The worksheets presented here make these basics tangible for our students through interesting and enlightening experiments. However, students should not just watch when the teacher demonstrates something; they will conduct the experiments themselves - and even without significant equipment. Only a few basic materials are required. This allows all tasks and experiments to be explored hands-on, and they can even be replicated at home! Contents include: - The force of a magnet - How magnetism works - The poles of a magnet - Earth's magnetism - the compass - Elementary magnets - Attracting - repelling - Who attracts whom? - and much more. 72 pages.
