The Chinese created the first compasses more than 2,200 years ago. How people use magnets to create useful tools; Experiments, a timeline, photos-and how to make magnets of your own; Surprising True facts that will shock and amaze you! Book jacket.

Read and Experiment is an engaging series that uses fun experiments to introduce children to analytical thinking, scientific concepts and experimental procedures. Through fun, carefully designed experiments, it encourages children to get hands-on with science, asking questions and seeking their own answers by following the illustrated step-by-step instructions. The title gets them familiar with the science of magnets.

Make science simple! This book features easy and fun Science Experiments with Magnets using household items. Young readers can assemble experiments at home from a Cool Water Compass to Magic Floating Magnets. No laboratory needed! Each activity includes easy instructions with how-to photos, and short science explanations. Use fun to introduce math and science to kids. Super simple says it all. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Super SandCastle is an imprint of ABDO Publishing Company.

Guides readers in using the scientific method to understand more about the properties of magnets and metals.

Presents experiments and activities that demonstrate the concepts and scientific principles of magnetism.

Why are cows given magnets to swallow? How does a compass work? Where can you see the aurora borealis? The 'Do It Yourself' series offers an exciting new approach to understanding and investigation. Each book helps you to conduct your own experiments and activities, and to learn more about the world around us.

This book provides an overview of the physical phenomena discovered in magnetic molecular materials over the last 20 years. It is written by leading scientists having made the most important contributions to this active area of research. The main topics of this book are the principles of quantum tunneling and quantum coherence of single-molecule magnets (SMMs), phenomena which go beyond the physics of individual molecules, such as the collective behavior of arrays of SMMs, the physics of one-dimensional single–chain magnets and magnetism of SMMs grafted on substrates. The potential applications of these physical phenomena to classical and quantum information, communication technologies, and the emerging fields of molecular spintronics and magnetic refrigeration are stressed. The book is written for graduate students, researchers and non-experts in this field of research.
