                        \n
                      1. Improper storage can cause magnets to lose their properties.<\/li>\n
                      2. To keep them safe, bar magnets should be kept in pairs with their unlike poles on the same side.<\/li>\n
                      3. They must be separated by a piece of wood and two pieces of soft iron should be placed across their ends.<\/li>\n
                      4. For a horse-shoe magnet a single piece of soft iron can be used as a magnetic keeper across the poles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          1. About 2500 years back in a place named magnesia in Greek, there lived a shepherd named Magnus.<\/li>\n
                          2. One day while his goats were grassing he took a hap on a rock by keeping his iron caped stick and iron nailed boots on that rock.<\/li>\n
                          3. When he woke up, he found that his iron-capped stick stuck on the rock and stood erect. His iron-nailed boots also stuck on the fock.<\/li>\n
                          4. The entire village assembled there to see this magic.<\/li>\n
                          5. People wondered about this incident, each and everyone expressed their views in different ways.<\/li>\n
                          6. People found it attractive not only the stick of Magnus but also all other materials made of iron.<\/li>\n
                          7. more rocks of these kinds were found worldwide.<\/li>\n
                          8. These magnetic rocks were named \u2018Magnets\u2019 and the ore is called \u2018Magnetite\u2019 after the name of the boy Magnus.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                    \nThe procedure of the activity:
                                    \nI bring three objects one after the other close to one pole of the bar magnet and observe whether they get attracted, repelled, or not attracted.
                                    \nConclusions:<\/p>\n

                                      \n
                                    1. If an object is attracted by one pole of the bar magnet and repelled by its other pole, then I can say that it is a magnet.<\/li>\n
                                    2. If an object is attracted by both the poles of a bar magnet and not repelled by any
                                      \npole, then I can say that it is not a magnet but a magnetic substance.<\/li>\n
                                    3. If an object is neither attracted by a magnet nor repelled by it, then I can say that it is neither a magnet nor a magnetic substance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                      1. Magnets attract magnetic materials.<\/li>\n
                                      2. A magnet always has two ends whose attracting capacity is more than the parts of it. The poles of the magnet lie at these birds.<\/li>\n
                                      3. Each magnet has two magnetic poles: North and South.<\/li>\n
                                      4. Like Poles (N-N, S-S) repel each other and unlike poles (N-S, S-N) attract each other.<\/li>\n
                                      5. A freely suspended magnet always aligns in the North-South direction.<\/li>\n
                                      6. Magnets lose their properties if they are heated or dropped from a height hit with a hammer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                        Question 8.
                                        \nHow can you prove that a bar magnet possesses two poles?
                                        \nAnswer:
                                        \nAim: To prove that a bar magnet possesses two poles.

                                        \nWhat do you need? (Materials required): Iron filings, a sheet of paper, bar magnet.
                                        \nWhat to do? (Procedure):<\/p>\n

                                          \n
                                        1. Spread some iron fillings uniformly on a sheet of paper.<\/li>\n
                                        2. Place a bar magnet below this sheet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                          What do you see? (Observation):<\/p>\n

                                            \n
                                          1. We will notice that the uniformly spread iron filings come close and get concentrate at two points of the paper sheet.<\/li>\n
                                          2. At some distance, we will find some scattered iron filings between these two points.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                            What do you learn? (Result): Thus the ends of the bar magnet attract more iron filings than the middle part of the magnet. By this activity we can conclude that every bar magnet always has two ends whose attracting capacity is more than its other parts. These ends are called poles of the magnet.<\/p>\n

                                            2. The magnet finally takes a position in the North-South direction.<\/li>\n
                                            3. Mark the end points towards the North with some color.<\/li>\n
                                            4. Now disturb the magnet and again wait for some time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
