Science Experiment: Magnetic Field

Have you ever wondered how magnets work? Magnetic fields exert force on other magnetic materials. This force is what causes the magnet to stick to the fridge or the magnet to stick to the paper clips. In this magnetic field science experiment for kids, you will be able to see how these forces look and how magnetic field lines behave. It is always fun to play with magnets. We added iron filings to a bottle of shampoo to see the magnetic field. If you move a magnet over the bottle and look closely, you notice the outline of magnetic force created by iron filings.
