Why do magnets stick together? And why does breaking one in half create a new set of poles? We’re going to explore these and other weird things about magnets. Are you ready? This video will get you started on the right foot for your study into with oddball world of magnets as you detected the earth’s magnetic pulse, discover magnetic levitation, uncover weird eddy currents that counteract gravity, and discover how a grape is magnetic. Let’s get started:
