First it talked about the power of magnets. Magnets are all around us. Magnets mainly attract iron,nickel,and cobalt but all of them are metals. They are in everyday life things like refrigerators and even tvs. A compass will use a magnetic needle to tell where you are and where you need to go. Earth itself is a magnet. The largest one in fact. William gilbert was interested in magnets and was studying them. 1580 they used the compass a lot but where very confused about it. They realised that electricity went with magnetism. An english scientist realized that they went together. Atoms are tiny magnets they are very little. The poles were magnets also and on all magnets they have a south and north part of the magnet. We talked about the earth being a magnet and how. We use it for medicine and many other things like a train to.
