Reading Comprehension

Name: __________________ ( ) Date: ___________

Class: Primary 2____________

Please go to PowerPoint 5 and Online Lesson on Magnets first before reading the passage to answer the questions.

11

Magnets are materials that attract pieces of iron or steel. In

ancient times, people first discovered *magnetism when they found

some naturally magnetic pieces of rock in the earth called lodestone.

Loadstones have a lot of iron in them. Other materials can be turned

into magnets too. *Nickel and *cobalt can also make good magnets.

Magnets have north and south poles. The north pole of one

magnet will repel, or push away, the north pole of another magnet. The

south pole of one magnet will repel the south pole of another magnet.

However, if you put the north pole of one magnet near the south pole of

another magnet, you will feel an attractive force. So opposite poles are

attracted to each other.

Most of the magnets we use are made from iron. The refrigerator

magnets we use are called permanent magnets. There's a magnet in

the seal on the inside of your refrigerator door. It holds the refrigerator

door closed when you are not looking for a snack or a cold drink. Some

cabinet doors have magnetic latches too. Can you think of any other

places where magnets have practical uses?
