Answer
Over 80% of all households in the US have magnets on their refrigerator.
If you attach a bar magnet to a piece of wood and float it in a bowl of water, it will slowly turn in the water until the magnet’s North Pole points towards the Earth’s North Pole. Temporary magnets will do the same thing.
A magnet always has north and south poles. Cutting a magnet in half makes two magnets, each with two poles.
Magnets can be found in many common household items such as telephones, computers, stereos, refrigerators, TV’s and VCR’s.
Breakfast cereal often contains iron. Some cereals contain enough iron that it’s pieces are attracted to a magnet.
