Magnetic Field
A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where it exerts a force on other magnets or magnetic materials.
Key Concepts:
- Magnetic Force: Magnets have the ability to exert a force on other magnets or magnetic materials within their magnetic field.
- Magnetic Poles: Every magnet has a north pole and a south pole. Like poles repel each other, and unlike poles attract each other.
- Magnetic Field Lines: The direction of a magnetic field can be visualized using magnetic field lines, which show the direction a north pole would be pushed if placed in the field.
- Earth's Magnetic Field: The Earth itself has a magnetic field, with the north pole roughly near the geographic south pole and the south pole near the geographic north pole.
Study Guide:
Here are some key points to remember when studying magnetic fields:
- What is a magnetic field?
- What causes a magnet to have a magnetic field?
- What are the properties of magnetic field lines?
- How do like poles and unlike poles interact within a magnetic field?
- What is the significance of Earth's magnetic field?
Understanding the concept of magnetic fields is important in various scientific fields, from physics to geology, and has practical applications in technologies such as magnetism-based storage devices and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

LIFE SCIENCE
Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Obtain information from literature and other media to illustrate that there are many different kinds of living things and that they exist in different places on land and in water (e.g., woodland, tundra, desert, rainforest, ocean, river).
EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE
Earth’s Systems
Make observations from media to obtain information about Earth’s events that happen over a short period of time (e.g., tornados, volcanic explosions, earthquakes) or over a time period longer than one can observe (e.g., erosion of rocks, melting of glaciers).
Collect and evaluate data to identify water found on Earth and determine whether it is a solid or a liquid (e.g., glaciers as solid forms of water; oceans, lakes, rivers, streams as liquid forms of water).
