Fun with Magnets

The video tutorial explores the three basic properties of magnets: attraction, repulsion, and direction. It demonstrates how magnets attract iron but not nonmetals like sand, and not all metals are magnetic. The repulsion property is shown using bar magnets with similar poles. The directional property is explained through the use of a compass, illustrating how magnets align in the north-south direction. The video also provides tips on maintaining magnetism and creating a simple compass.
