Yellow Daisy Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

Cheerful Magnetic Clips
Keep your noticeboard in order with these colourful clips!

@ Cheerful Magnetic Clips
Scientists have shown that Earth’s magnetic field is weakening. Current events have made it less attractive.

@ Magnetised Metal Spheres
"You know, I love talking about magnets. But I try not to."
"Why's that, Harvey?" asked Tigger, baffled.
"It's quite a polarizing topic!" responded Harvey.

@ Abstract, Magnetic Energy
What will happen when the Earth's magnetic poles flip? I don't know, but I heard Santa's been interviewing penguins to see if they can pull a sleigh.

@ Dutch Fridge Magnets
I asked Alexa: "What’s the difference between light and dark soy sauce?"
She replied: "Dark soy sauce is used in Chinese cooking to add colour and flavour to dishes. Light is an electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electro magnetic spectrum."

@ Aurora Borealis Phenomenon
What attracts knights in shining armour even more than damsels in distress? Magnets!

Sample 8/25

Purple and Gold Aurora
Auroras occur when charged particles (electrons and protons) collide with gases in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colourful light. As billions of flashes occur in sequence, the auroras appear to move or dance in the sky.

@ Purple and Gold Aurora
The Earth's magnetic poles move about 40 kilometres each year.

@ Abstract Solar System
All magnets produce a magnetic force: this is called a magnetic field. This field travels from a magnet’s north pole to the south pole and is completely invisible to the human eye, however, iron filings can be used to show these fields.

@ Itty Bitty Magnets
The first magnets were discovered by ancient civilisations 2500 years ago. Magnetic compasses were used extensively for navigation in Europe and China during the 12th and 13th centuries CE.

@ Electromagnetic Waves
Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus all have their own magnetic fields.

Turquoise Northern Lights
The aurora can be seen near the poles of both the northern and southern hemisphere. In the north the display is known as the aurora borealis; in the south it is called the aurora australis. What we are seeing in these beautiful displays in the sky are atoms and molecules in our atmosphere colliding with particles from the sun. The aurora's characteristic wavy patterns and curtains of light are caused by the lines of force in the Earth’s magnetic field.

@ Turquoise Northern Lights
"What’s the difference between a magnet and a construction site?" asked Honey.
"I don't know; what?" responded Harvey.
"A construction site has more poles!"

@ Old Fashioned Compass
Magnetic fields can cause paper clips to become temporary magnets attracting other paper clips. In the absence of the permanent magnet, the paper clips lose their magnetic properties.

An electron and a proton walk into a magnetic field... ... Yes. That's it. There's no punchline. Physics isn't a joke.

Northern Lights in Green
What causes the different colours in the aurora? Different gases give off different colours when they are heated. The same process is also taking place in the aurora. The two primary gases in the Earth’s atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen, and these elements give off different colours during an aurora display. The green we see in the aurora is characteristic of oxygen, while hints of purple, blue or pink are caused by nitrogen.

@ Northern Lights in Green
The unit used to measure the strength of a magnet is called a tesla.

Reel to Reel Tape
Some old-fashioned magnetic tape! Do you remember recording the top hits of the day on a reel-to-reel tape recorder?

@ Reel to Reel Tape
Magnetic materials are always made of metal, but not all metals are magnetic. Iron is magnetic, so any metal with iron in it will be attracted to a magnet. Steel contains iron, so a steel paperclip will be attracted to a magnet too. Most other metals, for example aluminium, copper and gold, are NOT magnetic.
