Magnets in Our World

Magnets are everywhere in your home! Fridge magnets hold your drawings on the refrigerator. The fridge door has a magnetic strip that keeps it closed. Cabinet doors use magnets to stay shut. Magnetic phone cases snap onto your phone. Purse and bag clasps often use magnets. Even some toys like building blocks use magnets to snap together! Look around — you probably have dozens of magnets near you right now!
