In the Magnets leveled reader, fundamental science facts in physics are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers discover that magnets are made of metal atoms like iron and nickel. Atoms are like tiny building blocks that make up everything we touch, taste, smell, and see. The atoms in a magnet line up in the same direction, which makes the magnet have two different poles, one at each end of the magnet. Each magnetic pole creates a force. The meaning of force in physics is defined. The poles are called the magnetic north pole and the magnetic south pole, and they have opposite forces. If two magnets are lined up with the north and south poles together, the magnets attract each other. If like poles are aligned, the magnets will repel. Magnets also attract some other metals.
