I was about three years old when I first remember handling a magnet. The two long magnets that would attract and repel at opposite ends were fascinating. I knew nothing about the north pole and south pole on a magnet at that time. I was just delighted that I could make one magnet move without even touching it by merely bring the second one close to it.<\/p>\n

As I grew up and studied the principles behind the phenomena the mystery diminished some what about the magnets, but the fascination did not. I still love to play with magnets if I have the time. They come in so many different shapes and sizes. Be they round or rectangular, all I need is a set of iron filings around so make a game out of them.<\/p>\n

There are so many easy and simple games that you can play. You can even convert it into a science project. Trying to see how many pins you can attach to the end of a magnetized pin is great fun. And if you use magnets of different shapes ans sizes you will be able to get enough statistical data to actually make a science project out of your playful experiments.<\/p>\n

Magnets are a great base to make a science fair project. They are not very expensive, are easily available and can contribute to many safe experiments. Use your magnets in this project on Electromagnetism<\/a> to prove that there’s more to the magnet than just fun and games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
