MAGNETIC
OR NOT?

Objects have magnetic
property depending on its
composition. There is a
common misconception
that magnets attract all
metals, largely due to the
ubiquity of steel in metal
products. One method to
test whether an object is
magnetic or not is
through the use of
permanent magnet.

MATERIALS

Gather the
needed
materials.
Procedures

List all the
materials to be
tested in the
Table 1.
Procedures

Predict first if the
materials you have is
either magnetic or not
magnetic based from its
physical appearance.
Write your prediction in
Table 1
Procedures

Now, try to test if
the materials are
magnetic or not by
testing if they can
be attracted to a
permanent magnet.
Procedures

Upon completion
of the tests,
discuss the
results as a
whole class.
