When do magnets pull together?

Draw

Magnets can either push or pull. Draw arrows on the paperclips and on the bar magnets to show the direction of the magnetic force.

Draw

The gravitational force between the plane and Earth is an attractive force. The forces between opposite charges and opposite magnetic poles are also attractive. Label the systems of objects with increasing and decreasing potential energy in the diagrams.

Draw

Draw the magnetic field lines.

Draw

Add labels to the illustration to show where the magnetic field is strongest and where it is weakest.

Open Ended

What is the relationship between distance from the magnet and the strength of its magnetic field?
