Let me work through this problem step by step to determine which objects are magnetic and which are non-magnetic.
Step 1: Understanding the concept
- Magnets attract certain metals (like iron, steel, nickel)
- Materials like glass, plastic, wood, paper are NOT magnetic
Step 2: Analyzing each object
1.
Nail - Made of metal (usually steel/iron) → MAGNETIC ✓
2.
Keys - Made of metal (brass, steel, or other metals) → MAGNETIC ✓
3.
Pine cones - Made of wood/natural material → NON-MAGNETIC ✓
4.
Scissors - Made of metal (steel blades) → MAGNETIC ✓
5.
Pencil - Made of wood with graphite core → NON-MAGNETIC ✓
6.
Glass with drink - Made of glass and liquid → NON-MAGNETIC ✓
Verification:
- Magnetic objects contain ferrous metals that magnets can attract
- Non-magnetic objects are made of materials like wood, glass, plastic, etc.
- My answers align with basic magnetism principles taught at elementary level

Final Answer:
- Nail: Magnetic
- Keys: Magnetic
- Pine cones: Non-Magnetic
- Scissors: Magnetic
- Pencil: Non-Magnetic
- Glass with drink: Non-Magnetic
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of magnet worksheets.
