DISCOVERY OF MAGNET!
BY: MAGNES AT MAGNESIA

According to a
legend, a young
herdsman named
Magnes, who
lived near Mount
Ida in Greece
approximately
2500 BCE

He discovered
the existence
of lodestones
that are rich
in magnetite,
an iron oxide
mineral.

Lodestones – Have
magnetic properties like
rich magnetite, iron
oxide: that strongly
attracts

Magnetite
Lodestones are composed of
magnetite, a mineral form of iron
oxide. Like other types of magnetite,
they are hard, black and shiny, but
lodestones are special because they are
naturally magnetized.

His discovery was
prompted by the
difficulty he
encountered each
time he climbed up
the mountain to
tend his sheep.

The difficulty is caused
by the natural
magnetic attraction
between his iron
hobnail boots and the
excessive amounts of
lodestones present in
the rock and soil of
the mountain

-What is the purpose of Iron
Hobnail Boots?
Hobnailed boots were formerly
used for mountaineering to grip
on sloping rock surfaces

In his honor, the
Greeks called the
material
“magnes”, and
this is how we
have come to
use the word
“magnet” today.

Funfact about
MAGNETS

Batubalani is the tagalog term for
magnet.
“Batubalani” came from the old
bisaya words, “bato” which means
stone, and the word “balani” which
means “though”

There are common things in our
surroundings that can’t be
attracted by a magnet. most
commonly examples are the stainless
steel, gold, silver, copper, alloy, etc.
And the metal that are very
attractive to magnets are
nicle,iron,cobalt,etc.

-Magnets are surrounded by
invisible magnetic field.
-The unit used to measure the
strength of a magnet is called
“tesla”.
-Magnets have two ends, the
north pole and south pole.

heart that will attract true
friends. That magnet is
