The story of The Levitating Pencil Experiment.

Do you want to entertain the children, or make your friends impressed? Maybe you're a teacher and you're looking for an experiment that shows how magnets work, and why they do what they do! A little bit of this knowledge flashed through my mind, and I'm sure it will also affect those who watched you! You can pass through it as a cool magic trick, though there's a good reason why the pencil "floats" as it is.

I know from experience that kids love to play with magnets, which come in different shapes and sizes. While they enjoy the fun times they get from them, they may know what a real magnet is, or how it performs. This demonstration will help them understand this concept, especially if only a few theories, for example:

Five Things You Should Know About Magnets:

  1. The magnet has two opposite ends, called the poles. The poles at one end of the treatment are called the north pole, while the other end is called the south pole.
  2. Each of these opposite ends pulls the opponent's pole.
  3. The invisible magnetic field surrounds the magnet.
  4. The north pole of the magnetic point leads to the north pole of the Earth and the south pole of the magnetic point leads to the south pole of the earth, this is because the Earth itself has a considerable amount of magnetic material in it and is considered a very large magnet.
  5. You can change an unlit piece of iron, like an iron screw, into a magnet by simply running an object extracted several times, this process is called magnetization.

Experiment: Make your Levitate Pencil

This very fast and easy science experiment is the best way to use visual help to explain how poles are opposite to magnetically attractive, while the same poles repel each other. To perform this nice "trick" you need the following items:

  • Pencil
  • Six rounded magnets with a hole in the middle (big enough for your pencil to fit)
  • A piece of foam
  • The ribbon is sticky

Instructions:

  • Take your pencil and wrap some sticky tape around the two opposite ends.
  • Work your pencil through the holes of two round magnets and then let each of the magnets rest on one of the sticky taped sections.
  • Make four holes in your piece of foam, for the other for magnetic to be placed in to. The magnets in the foam need to be spaced out to match the spacing of the magnets on the pencil (see image below as an example).
  • Take your piece of plastic (CD case covers work well) and pierce it into your foam board, at one of the ends.
  • Take the pencil with the magnets and place it over the four magnets on the foam board, with the sharpened side of the pencil touching the plastic divider.
  • Watch as the pencil hovers in the air!

According to Science

This magnet repel each other.
The rule to remember is that the opponent is interesting. Each magnet has a north and south pole. When you place the north pole of a magnet near the south pole of another magnet, they attract each other. When you place the poles of two magnets close to each other (North to North or South to South), they will repel each other.

This experiment is safe for children at home, the material is also very simple and affordable, magnets can be purchased from your local equipment store. Activities like this make you realize that children do not need plastic toys and shiny toys found on the shelves lately, they just need a bunch of odds and obstacles, and it will be a very useful Science for them later!

Further stories about How to Raise Children that are not Spoiled, Lazy or Dishonest.

In the life of a family, every parent has high hopes that their children will make them proud and grow into qualified individuals and have positive characteristics. At the same time, many parents will do everything necessary to make their child happy, usually by giving them everything they want. This, however, can be detrimental to their education and care. These children often get used to living comfortably and get their wishes just like that. As parents, we need to tread carefully with how much we let our children get away and how we ruin it.

Here are some tips on how to educate and raise children properly, to avoid spoiling them, and make their future better:

(1) Do not obey every child's wishes.
Loving your child does not mean you have to mema their every wish. Children need to learn that you do not just "get" stuff, you get the goods. If we surrender to every wish or desire of the child, we will create a generation that is dependent and unmotivated. Encourage your children to take responsibility and work towards the things they want.

(2.) Allow room for exploration.
The curiosity of a child about his world often makes them want to explore and as they get older they want to explore more freely. Because of fear and fear, parents often prevent their children from finding something independently. This encourages children to take extreme measures, usually by rebellion, to get their way and head for the vast world wide. Let your children explore. Remind them of danger and ask to be safe and wise in their actions, and then let a little freedom, of course, age is right.

(3.) Encourage honesty.
Open up a communication channel where your children feel safe enough to talk to you, without fear of your reaction or response. In this way they are more likely to be honest with you at all times.

(4.) Avoid physical discipline.
Often, you as a parent feel angry or upset with your child's bad behavior, this is normal and often happens. You have to stay calm, do not let your kids see it get to you, and more importantly, do not react violently. Reacting with physical violence will be more dangerous than good and will immediately close the door of open and honest communication.

(5.) Give love and care.
A child will feel the happiest when they are loved and given time by their parents. Praise them as they do good and motivate them to try their best, while reminding them that it's okay to fall and fail, as long as you get back on your feet.

The best gift you can give to children is your time ..
Being a parent is a noble task and comes with great responsibility. Be the parents your child will be proud of. Educating and raising your child well, this will help them to have a bright and happy future that they deserve.

Next story about Follow A Career In Copywriting With These Easy Steps.

A good copywriter does not have to be a good writer; in fact, a copywriter's skills need to be based primarily on psychology, marketing, and human consumerism. If you are well informed in this field, then the words themselves will be easy to come by. With internet and social media platforms becoming the number one marketing portal in the world today, there is plenty of work available for copywriters, making it a popular career choice for school graduates and even older generations.

What a great job this field is the demand is high, and you do not need formal qualifications to be employed. Of course, having a tertiary study behind your name will be beneficial to you, but maybe you can also apply this career without having to have an official degree.

Here's How You Can Be a Copywriter With 5 Simple Steps

  1. Choose an industry, and be a master in it. You will not make yourself much thinner. So choose a field that really interests you, then learn diligently, from back to front. Being a Copywriter pretty much means you also have to be a professional in the industry of your choice.

  2. Read! Read the book on Psychology mostly, focusing on human instinct and impulse. Find out what makes people want to buy something, or what interests them. Knowing what drives and individuals to choose one thing from the other will give you the inspiration you need to choose the right words.

  3. Attend a marketing seminar. It's not only a great way to learn trade tricks and attract some inspiration, but it's also a great way to make some contact and get your feet to the door.

  4. Your own market can be your first client! Organize yourself with websites that offer samples of your work and also your contact details. Network your Social Media platform and follow Freelance Copywriting platform like Upwork.

  5. Observe what other people are doing, and how they do it. Continuous research is necessary in asking this question, from the moment of change, as well as the desires of the consumer.

To add these five steps, there is also one important suggestion I want to share. You must really believe in the product or service you write. If your heart is not in it, or if you have to "lie" to make something sound amazing, you will never get the most effective words.

Preparing yourself as a copywriter is tantamount to building a business from scratch. You must try hard from the beginning, prove your talent, and not expect the money to be launched soon.

Next tells of Thomas Edison: Inventor or Comforter?

Music has the power to evoke emotions. It has a great way to set the mood we are looking for. In music we can find ourselves and also lose ourselves at the same time. While music had been around since the beginning, in the 1870s, it came to households around the world with just a touch or turn of the button. In 1877 the Phonograph, or what we now call Gramophone, is found.

This wonderful gadget really changes the world as we know it, and who should we be grateful for? Thomas Edison of course! While many before he mastered the art of recording sound waves, Edison's Gramophone was the first discovery that could reproduce the recording. While many inventors and scientists work together to improve the music player and well, perfect it. The elderly Eddy mastered most of the science and technology behind him.

Described as America's greatest inventor (Wikipedia), Mr. Edison has contributed to the world as we know it in more ways than one. She not only invited us to dance in our living room, but also helped us capture the moment with the invention of the picture camera. And of course, there was the invention of the light bulb! Some people may say that he is an entertainer, because how can we enjoy a pleasant evening without a genius potion!

While I have never known the old man, ever since he left this world in 1931, he has really affected my life in more than one way. I survived my teen years by hiding in my room while blasting my music, and during those years, only my music understood me. Now as a mother, I spend most of my time following my toddler with a video camera, capturing moments that are more valuable than worldly possession. I would say that he has made a list of the coolest inventors in the world!

Do you know?
Edison develops hearing problems from an early age. The cause of deafness is due to red fever in childhood and untreated middle ear infections.

It is ironic that the person who plays a big role in the progress of the voice, can alone, not hear it well! How strange and beautiful are their ways in this world?

So little story related to education.
