Explanation:
Let’s go through each question one by one, using the text provided.
1.
What type of surfaces will magnets stick to?
The passage says: *“A magnet is an object that has magnetic force. Magnets will stick to many metal surfaces…”*
So magnets stick to
metal surfaces — but not all metals (e.g., aluminum or copper usually don’t attract), and only certain ones like iron, nickel, cobalt. Since the passage just says “many metal surfaces,” the best answer based on the text is:
metal surfaces.
2.
What is the force that a magnet creates called?
The passage says: *“The force that a magnet produces is called magnetism.”*
So the answer is:
magnetism.
3.
What are the ends of a magnet called?
The passage says: *“Magnets often have two ends that are called poles.”*
So the answer is:
poles.
4.
What are magnets made of?
The passage says: *“Magnets are usually made of metal, but metal is not always magnetic.”*
So the answer is:
metal (specifically magnetic metals like iron, but the passage only says “metal”).
5.
What are some things magnets are used for?
The passage gives one example: *“Have you ever seen a magnet stuck on a refrigerator?”*
So one use is:
holding things on a refrigerator. Other common uses (not in the text but generally known) include compasses, electric motors, speakers — but since we must stick to what’s in the passage, the clearest answer is:
sticking to refrigerators (or holding items on metal surfaces). However, the question asks “some things,” so it's okay to list the example given. We’ll use:
holding things on a refrigerator.
6.
Why do you think magnets are called an invisible force?
The passage doesn’t say this directly, but it says: *“The force that a magnet produces is called magnetism.”*
Magnetism acts without touching — you can feel the push/pull even when magnets aren’t touching. That force isn’t visible, so it’s “invisible.”
So a good answer is:
Because you can’t see the force, but you can feel it (like push or pull) without touching.
Now let’s write the answers clearly and simply:
1. Metal surfaces
2. Magnetism
3. Poles
4. Metal
5. Holding things on a refrigerator (or sticking to refrigerators)
6. Because the force (magnetism) can’t be seen — it works without touching.
Final Answer:
1. metal surfaces
2. magnetism
3. poles
4. metal
5. holding things on a refrigerator
6. because the magnetic force cannot be seen, but it still pushes or pulls objects
