North and South Poles: Princess Ruby's Toy Room

In Princess Ruby’s Toy Room at Rainbow Castle, the wooden toy train has a little magnet at each end of every carriage, bar magnets lie on the table, and a compass sits by the window.

Remember: Every magnet has two poles: a north pole and a south pole. Opposite poles attract (north and south pull together). Like poles repel (north and north, or south and south, push apart). A compass needle is a tiny magnet that points north, because Earth acts like a giant magnet.

Magic trick: Different poles are friends; the same poles push apart.
