Why does a refrigerator magnet stick to the fridge but not to the wooden cabinets? This question will be answered as viewers discover what makes something "magnetic." Young students learn about positive and negative forces, the North and South poles, and the basic concepts of why opposites attract. Children find out more about what magnets are used for and in which simple machines they are found. With a hands-on experiment and real-world examples, these concepts are more easily understood.

This title correlates to the National Science Education Standards for Physical Science -- properties of objects & materials, position & motion of objects, and light, heat, electricity & magnetism.
