Students should be able to:
- state the properties of magnets
- describe induced magnetism caused by placing magnetic material close to a strong magnet or within a
current-carrying solenoid
- distinguish between temporary magnets (e.g. iron) and permanent magnets (e.g. steel) in terms of their
properties and uses
- describe how a bar magnet (e.g. a compass) can be used to determine the direction of a magnetic field
- draw the magnetic field pattern around a bar magnet and between the poles of two bar magnets
