How Do Magnets Work?
Ref: TWL-HOW-DO-MAGNETS-WORK
Grade Level: 3-8
The Big Idea
Explore the invisible, quantum-level magic happening inside a piece of metal. Discover how spinning electrons create a powerful force field that allows magnets to reach out and pull objects through thin air without ever touching them.
