Three Types of Useful Magnets


Magnetism is an amazing scientific phenomenon. In the present day scenario, there are many uses of magnets in many ways. Generating broad magnetic fields, some magnets are very powerful and large in size while some of them are very small and fit in the palm of your hand.

Attracting metal through the air with no strings, chains or any other sorts of connections, they are not like anything that can be found anywhere else on the planet. Children are naturally fascinated by these magnets and they are useful for demonstrations in a science class. A wide variety of magnets are available for using in a class, which could range from rod magnets to disc magnets to plate magnets.

Rod magnets: Tall and straight, they are generally useful for demonstrations when things are drawn to the magnet when it is kept stationary. Small metal objects like paperclips can be used by the students to see them move across the table to the magnet when it is kept upright. Metal objects are drawn in from all sides due to the circular nature of the rod

Disc magnets: These are flat circles and are most useful when you want the students to pick them up and move them around. Available in a variety of different sizes, the disc magnets are easy to carry and manipulate. This can be used by scattering across the face of a table, small metal objects like paper clips. The students can run the magnets over the top of the table to watch the paperclips jump up into the air

Plate magnets: These are often used inside of tables. Tables are available with a plate magnet stuck inside. Although very heavy and hard to move around but can provide a lot of fun experiences for children. This dismisses the use of a separate magnet as just the face of the table is enough.

To sum up, magnets are great for classrooms. Using rod magnets, disc magnets, and plate magnets gives plenty of different options while teaching students.
