Summary: Describes how magnets work and includes instructions for making a magnet and a compass.
"Magnets pick things up. Things that contain iron, that is. A magnet won't pick up a leaf or a penny, but it will pick up a paper clip or a pin. Follow the step-by-step instructions about how to make a magnet, and then find out for yourself how magnets pick things up."--Dustjacket back.
