Spotlite: On the Hunt for Magnetic Metals

In this NASA Spotlite, NASA interns investigate the misconception that all metals are attracted to magnets. Through a hands-on experiment, they test different metal objects to see which ones are truly magnetic.

Viewers are encouraged to gather items like keys, paperclips, and coins to conduct their own tests at home or in the classroom. By observing which objects are attracted to a magnet and which are not magnetic.

Watch to see the results and try the investigation yourself!
