Magnetism and Static Electricity Unveiled Through Engaging STEM Activities

The video tutorial explores the concepts of magnets and electricity, explaining magnetism, magnetic fields, and static electricity. It introduces different types of magnets, including temporary, permanent, and electromagnets. The tutorial also features STEM activities such as making a compass, painting with magnets, and creating an electromagnet. Viewers are encouraged to try these activities at home and are directed to LearnBright.org for more resources.
