How do magnets work?

Hello everybody! Do you know that magnets attract and repel other magnets depending on the charge of their poles? The sixth grade children checked it through making different constructions with bar magnets and metal balls. Moreover, we also proved if they attract objects that are in our daily life such as pencils or sharpeners. Furthermore, we tested if magnets attract iron filings and brass filings; and... What do you think? You have the answer in these images! Furthermore, we did an electromagnetic experiment with a circuit and a compass. It is fun to learn about matter through doing these kind of experiments!
