Magnetism is a force that objects have that lets them attract or push away other objects. Magnets are objects that have a strong force of magnetism. They are often made out of metals, like iron or steel. When two magnets are near each other, they can pull each other closer (attract) or push each other away (repel). Different kinds of magnets have different magnetic forces, and some magnets are stronger than others. Magnetism also happens in electricity (which is the flow of energy). When electricity passes through a wire, it can create a magnetic field all around it.
