PRAYER
Lord Jesus, I ask for Your help as I begin this
new school year. Allow me to experience Your
presence in the many blessings You put before
me. Open my eyes to the new challenges and
exciting opportunities that this new school
year brings. Open my heart and mind to new
friends and new teachers. Give me a generous
spirit to be enthusiastic with my studies and
courage to accept new opportunities. Help me
to be attentive to my teachers and let me
experience Your presence in my new friends.

REVIEW
what magnets are and their basic properties,
such as having poles (north and south), the
ability to attract certain materials, and the
concept of repulsion between like poles.
● Force can be exerted without touching an
object, like the force exerted by a magnet.
● Magnets attract materials made of iron,
nickel, and cobalt. Materials that do not
contain these metals are non-magnetic, like
● The strength of magnets varies. Its
strength is determined based on its
size and the number of its tiny
magnets (magnetic domains) that are
aligned.
● Magnets have two poles, the north
(N) and the south poles (S).
● Similar poles repel while opposite
poles attract.
● Magnets can lose their magnetism over
time, which is called demagnetization.
However, this process typically occurs very
slowly, and in many cases, magnets can
retain their magnetic properties for years or
even decades without significant loss. The
rate of demagnetization depends on various
factors, including the material composition
of the magnet, exposure to high
temperatures, physical damage, and
● If you cut a permanent magnet in half
along its axis, each half will typically retain
its magnetic properties and behave as a
smaller magnet. However, the strength of
each resulting magnet may be slightly
weaker than the original due to the cutting
process and potential damage to the
material.
● Many objects used in our daily lives
contain magnets, like speakers, cell phones,

eading a Story-Magnet Max
Magnet Max
by Monica Lozano Hughes
There once was a boy named Magnet Max,
who wanted to test what magnets attract.
He loved to explore with objects galore to
see what kinds of things would react. One
sunny day, Magnet Max went to play at
Nick’s house. Nick did not know this great
find. Max showed him the habit of his
wonderful magnet. Watching it work blew
“That’s swell!” The magnet’s powers
gave him a thrill. Magnet Max made
no reply. With the wink of an eye, he
made his magnet attract at his will.
Nick leaped up with glee at the
magic, you see, and asked, “How do
you get them to stick?” “Magnets
give off a magnetic field,” Max
replied. “They stick to anything, like
iron or steel, real quick!” “If you
There are so many possibilities!”
“These are metals that can be part of
many things, such as rings, and being
magnetic is key.” So on that day, the
boys decided to play by searching for
things they could find. They looked for
metal objects all about, in and out,
and found many items. A paper clip,
the refrigerator, a nail and a bolt were
Nick exclaimed, “Goodness sakes! I’m
amazed at the magic it makes! Can we
get it to stick to a horse?” But a shoe, a
ball, a plant, and a doll could not stick
to the magnet, of course. “These items
are not magnetic or kinetic,” said Max.
“They don’t have the special force.” The
day had gone by as they searched far
and wide in the house for more objects
They heard Nick’s mom call from way down
the hall. “Max, your mom says it’s time to
go rest.” Max and Nick said, “Aw man!”
“We’ve just begun. We aren’t done. We were
just about to test out a comb!” They both
looked at the magnet, wanting more to
explore. It was time for Max to go home.
Then Max said, “How about we hang out
tomorrow, and we can continue our play?”
As Nick walked home, he thought of what
they suggested and tested and how fun it
Max wanted to share his tool, that’s
so cool so other kids could feel the
same joy. He lay down in bed to
relax. Then, closing his eyes, he
dreamed of how wise he would be
as the explorer Magnet Max!
