Oh hi!
2
Squeaks and I were just playing with magnets.
3
Watch this.
4
I know, right?
5
Magnets are kind of amazing.
6
Squeaks has so many questions about magnets.
7
Let's start with what they're made of and what they can do do.
8
This is one of my favorite toys!
9
All I have to do is hold them like this,
10
and they stick together without any glue or tape.
11
Maybe you have a toy like ours,
12
one that has parts that stick together,
13
or maybe you have letters that stick to your refrigerator or a whiteboard.
14
But did you ever wonder why they don't just fall to the ground?
15
Well, it's because they use magnets.
16
A magnet is something that can put a special kind of force on something else.
17
A force can be a push or a pull.
18
A lot of the time,
19
we think about a magnet as attracting or pulling on something else.
20
The magnets that are in my toy pull on or attract this little ball,
21
and when they get close enough,
22
they stick to each other.
23
If you have a magnet at home,
24
you can see how it attracts this kind of a paperclip.
25
If I move the magnet slowly toward the paperclip,
26
the magnet pulls on the paperclip until the two objects are completely stuck together.
27
And once they're stuck, they stay stuck until I put a force of my own on the paperclip by pulling them apart.
28
You might have noticed that I didn't even have to touch the magnet to the paperclip to get them to stick together.
29
That's because there's an invisible area all around the magnet that can attract certain things,
30
called the magnetic field.
31
You can see how strong a magnet is by seeing how
32
close you have to get to the object before the magnet starts to pull.
33
If your magnet is pretty strong,
34
it'll be able to pull objects that are farther away than weaker magnets.
35
And a magnetic field can do some pretty neat things.
36
Check this out.
37
If I put my paper clip on top of this paper,
38
and my magnet below the paper,
39
I can move the paper clip without using my fingers at all!
40
That's because the invisible magnetic field pulls on the paper clip right through the paper.
41
Even though the magnet isn't actually touching the paper clip,
42
it's still pulling on it.
43
And that's enough to make the paperclip move.
44
But just because something is attracted by a magnet,
45
that doesn't mean it's a magnet itself.
46
For example, we just saw that my magnet sticks to this paperclip,
47
but the paperclip won't attract or stick to another paperclip.
48
That's because it's the magnet that's special and doing the attracting.
49
Now, magnets don't attract all things.
50
For example, this magnet doesn't stick to me,
51
but it does stick to Squeak's nose.
52
The magnet also isn't attracted to the table.
53
But we already know it attracts the paperclip!
54
Hmm, I wonder what other things will stick to my magnet.
55
Let's go find some stuff around the fort and do an experiment!
56
OK, I have some spoons from the fort's kitchen.
57
Let's play a game!
58
I'll hold up a spoon,
59
and you and Squeaks can guess if the magnet will attract it or not.
60
First, let's try this wooden spoon.
61
What do you think, Squeaks?
62
Good guess!
63
Let's try it!
64
You're right!
65
It doesn't attract the wood!
66
OK, let's try this plastic spoon.
67
What do you think, Squeaks?
68
No again?
69
Let's try.
70
You're right again!
71
Magnets don't attract plastic.
72
OK, let's try our last one.
73
What do you think?
74
Is it going to stick?
75
All right, let's try.
76
Ah, they do!
77
They stick!
78
Look at that.
79
So let's see.
80
Of all the things we tried,
81
the magnet was only attracted to Squeaks' face,
82
the little tiny ball, the paperclip, and this spoon.
83
And there's something they all have in common — something that makes them similar enough to be attracted to my magnet.
84
What do you think it is, Squeaks?
85
You're right!
86
They are all made of metal!
87
Things that are made of metal are usually pretty shiny,
88
and they're often hard
89
and kind of heavy for their size — like how the metal spoon is heavier than the plastic spoon,
90
even though they're around the same size.
91
A magnet attracts things that have metal in them,
92
but only certain kinds of metal, not all kinds.
93
Our magnet attracts this paper clip,
94
but not this coin, even though they're both made of metal.
95
One type of metal that is attracted to magnets is called iron.
96
People use iron to make lots of different things,
97
like fences and gates, some kinds of pots and pans,
98
and lots of tools, like nails and screws.
99
And when a magnet sticks to a fridge,
100
that's because there's iron inside the door,
101
even though you can't see it.
102
People use metals like iron to make something else, too.
103
Iron is one of a group of special metals that people can make into magnets.
104
Iron can do both!
105
It can be a magnet,
106
and it can be attracted to a magnet.
107
If you're curious about what other kinds of things are attracted to magnets,
108
you can ask a grown-up to help you experiment.
109
If you have a magnet,
110
you can hold it up to different kinds of things,
111
and see if you can guess what the magnet will attract.
112
It's pretty cool that magnets can grab metal with an invisible force.
113
But magnets can repel or push each other away,
114
too, which allowed Squeaks and I to learn an awesome magnet trick!
115
Oh, hi everyone!
116
You're just in time!
117
I've been working on some new experiments,
118
and I'm so excited to show you my latest one!
119
I can make this ordinary magnet float in the air!
120
Thanks, Squeaks!
121
I'm excited, too!
122
Let's get started!
123
All right, first, we take this marker and we stick it to the table.
124
I'm using some modeling clay to make it stick.
125
Next, I take one magnet ring and slide it down to the bottom of the marker.
126
Now, very carefully, I take the next magnet ring and lower it down the marker until… Presto!
127
A floating magnet!
128
Squeaks, it's not exactly a magic trick.
129
It's more like a magnet trick,
130
because magnets can do all sorts of amazing things.
131
Magnets are special objects made with metals.
132
I bet you have some in your classroom or your home,
133
like maybe stuck to a refrigerator,
134
or whiteboard, or in a toy.
135
And the important thing about magnets is they can make forces.
136
A force is a push or a pull.
137
And magnets can push or pull on things made with many kinds of metal,
138
like paper clips or nails.
139
That's why you sometimes see magnets stuck to refrigerators.
140
They can pull so hard on the metal inside the refrigerator that they'll stick to it.
141
We call things magnets pull on, like refrigerators, magnetic.
142
And get this!
143
Magnets don't even need to be touching something to push or pull on it!
144
That's one of the things that makes magnets so cool!
145
I agree!
146
Magnets are really fun to play with!
147
Now, testing to see if different things are magnetic can be fun by itself.
148
But really interesting things happen when you put two magnets together.
149
Check this out!
150
Sometimes the magnets pull on each other,
151
so they stick together really hard.
152
But now, look what happens when I flip this magnet over.
153
I can't push them together!
154
It's just like my floating magnet experiment.
155
The two magnets won't touch.
156
It almost feels like they're pushing against each other.
157
Oh, good question, Squeaks!
158
Why does this happen?
159
Well, magnets have two sides.
160
We call them the North Pole and the South Pole.
161
Exactly, Squeaks!
162
It's a lot like the North and South Pole that you see on a map of the Earth.
163
In fact, Earth is a giant magnet!
164
But that's a different story,
165
one we'll talk about soon.
166
When I hold the North Pole of one magnet and the South Pole of another magnet near each other,
167
each magnet makes a really strong force,
168
and the two pull together.
169
We say that they attract each other.
170
They actually pull on each other pretty hard,
171
so I'm being careful that they don't pinch my fingers.
172
Now, when I hold two North poles together, the opposite happens.
173
The magnets push against each other and won't stick.
174
In other words, we say that the magnets repel each other.
175
So different poles attract each other,
176
and same poles repel each other.
177
Hey, maybe that's why they say opposites attract.
178
Oh, you've got it, Squeaks!
179
In my experiment, the two magnets on the marker are repelling each other.
180
This one has the North Pole facing up,
181
and this one has the North Pole facing down.
182
So the two push against each other.
183
Right now, the side on the top is a South Pole.
184
So if I wanted to add another floating magnet ring,
185
which side should I put facing the other magnets?
186
North or South?
187
South Pole?
188
Let's try it.
189
You were right!
190
Nice work, buddy!
191
The matching sides are facing each other,
192
so the magnets repel each other and float!
193
You can use magnets to do all kinds of fun experiments!
194
You could try this floating magnet ring experiment at home,
195
or try something new!
196
Maybe you could try attracting magnets to hold together sheets in a blanket fort,
197
or you could try to balance things on repelling magnets!
198
Aw, Squeaks, that's a fun idea!
199
We could use magnets to put some art up on the fridge!
200
We could start our own magnet art gallery!
201
Humans aren't the only ones who use magnets.
202
Animals like turtles use the Earth's magnetic field to find their way around.
203
Our friend Dr. Turtleman stopped by to teach us just that.
204
And then we'll head south after that.
205
Hi everyone!
206
Squeaks and I are going to take a hike through the woods.
207
I heard there's a really pretty waterfall in the area,
208
so we're planning a hike to check it out.
209
Are you excited, Squeaks?
210
Oh, are you okay?
211
Oh, I see!
212
Squeaks is a little bit worried that we might get lost in the woods.
213
That's okay, Squeaks!
214
Walking in the woods is a lot different than walking around the fort.
215
But don't worry, we're going to take steps to make sure we don't get lost!
216
That's why we're making a hiking plan before we leave,
217
and part of that plan is to make sure we take along our trusty compass!
218
We can use it to help us figure out which direction we're going,
219
and keep us from getting lost.
220
Hi, Chessie!
221
Hi, Squeaks!
222
Oh, look who it is!
223
It's our friend, Dr. Turtleman!
224
Oh, good idea, Squeaks!
225
Dr. Turtleman does travel a lot.
226
Maybe we can ask him what he does to keep from getting lost.
227
If you've got questions about travel,
228
I'm definitely the reptile to ask.
229
Sea turtles take long trips every year, and I mean long!
230
Some turtles swim thousands of kilometers across the ocean to find food,
231
and we can find our way back home from anywhere in the world.
232
You're right, Squeaks.
233
There aren't any roads or trails for turtles to follow in the ocean.
234
That's because we don't need them.
235
Like many sea turtles, I can find my way around or navigate without following roads.
236
I don't even need to use a map or a computer.
237
Whoa, that's like a superpower.
238
It's a science power, and the power has to do with magnets.
239
You see, magnets have two ends called poles.
240
And one end of a magnet is called the North Pole,
241
the other is called the South Pole.
242
And these poles can pull on each other.
243
We call this pulling force magnetic attraction.
244
Magnetic attraction is why you can use magnets to pick up some things made of metal,
245
like paper clips.
246
The magnets pull on them hard enough to pick them up.
247
And we call anything that gets pulled by a magnet magnetic.
248
Exactly!
249
Now our Earth also kind of acts like a big magnet.
250
It even has poles.
251
And they can also pull on some things or attract them.
252
That includes the needle on your compass because it's made out of a magnetic metal.
253
So your compass needle points toward north because its ends are being pulled on by the Earth's magnetic poles.
254
And that's why a compass is so helpful for finding your way around.
255
That's right!
256
And in a way, sea turtles like me carry a compass everywhere we go.
257
Because we have something similar inside our heads.
258
We have this stuff in our brains called magnetite.
259
It's a kind of magnetic rock,
260
so it gets pulled on by the Earth's magnetic poles,
261
much like the needle of your compass.
262
And because we have these teeny tiny bits of magnetite in our brains,
263
we can always sense which way is north.
264
And that really helps us find our way around.
265
That's so cool!
266
It is!
267
This special sense even has a cool name.
268
It's called magnetoreception.
269
And turtles aren't the only ones that use it.
270
Scientists think other kinds of animals use magnetoreception to help them get where they want to go,
271
including birds, frogs, and dolphins.
272
Compasses, whether inside or out,
273
are just so great when you don't want to get lost.
274
So what do you think, Squeaks?
275
Do you feel a little bit better knowing we'll have a compass with us on our hike?
276
I'm so glad!
277
Thank you, Dr. Turtleman, for teaching us all about magnetoreception.
278
You're welcome, Jessie!
279
Have fun on your hike!
280
Bye!
281
You're right, Squeaks!
282
It is amazing that turtles can navigate using magnetoreception.
283
But we can sort of do the same thing with compasses.
284
Remember when we learned to build one?
285
Oh!
286
Hi everyone!
287
Squeaks is supposed to meet me here in the lab,
288
but he's not here yet.
289
I wonder what's taking him so long.
290
I'm super excited to see him because he promised he'd show me his new magnet.
291
Oh, there you are, Squeaks!
292
Is everything okay?
293
Oh, I see.
294
Squeaks was trying out his new magnet by the river,
295
and the path there is really long and windy.
296
So it took him a while to find his way back to the fort.
297
The river is directly south of here.
298
If only you had had a compass,
299
then you could have taken a shortcut.
300
A compass, it's a tool that can tell you what direction you're going.
301
And if you know what direction you're going,
302
you can find your way around without getting lost.
303
People have been using compasses for thousands of years to explore the world.
304
They can be big or small, fancy or plain.
305
But they have an important thing in common.
306
They have some kind of arrow or needle that points north.
307
So if we had a compass right now,
308
its needle would point this way.
309
Because that's north.
310
In fact, we can use your magnet to make your own compass right here at the fort.
311
What do you say, Squeaks?
312
Alright, let's do it!
313
You can make a compass too,
314
just make sure you get a grown-up to help you.
315
To make a compass, you'll need a sewing needle,
316
a piece of aluminum foil,
317
and a clear container of water with a flat bottom.
318
Oh yes, and a magnet!
319
Thanks, Squeaks!
320
This is definitely where you'll want help from a grown-up.
321
First, carefully pick up the sewing needle and hold it by the end that has the hole in it.
322
Now, drag the magnet along the needle slowly from the end with the hole to the pointy end, like this.
323
You'll need to do this about 15 or 20 times,
324
and always make sure you're doing it the same way,
325
from the hole end to the needle point.
326
Next, we'll need to fold our foil into a little boat of sorts,
327
and then poke the needle through it.
328
Again, make sure a grown-up helps you with this.
329
Trust me, poking your finger with the needle hurts.
330
Now we're ready to finish our compass.
331
All we have to do is gently float the foil on the water in our bowl.
332
Wait a second, and… look!
333
The needle turned, and it is now pointing north.
334
We did it!
335
Good question, Squeaks!
336
But before I explain what happened in this experiment,
337
let me explain how compasses work in general.
338
The reason why a compass points north is really cool.
339
It's because the pointy part inside is a magnet,
340
and magnets have two ends called poles.
341
One end of the magnet is called the North Pole,
342
and the other is called the South Pole,
343
no matter which direction they're facing.
344
And opposite poles of two different magnets attract.
345
That means they pull on each other.
346
Meanwhile, similar poles repel each other.
347
Repel means push away.
348
Now here's the really awesome part.
349
Our planet Earth is basically one huge magnet.
350
So it also has magnetic poles.
351
That means the Earth's poles act the same way that a magnet's poles do.
352
They attract and repel the poles of other magnets.
353
And they just
354
so happen to line up pretty well with the parts of the planet we call the North and South Pole.
355
You've got it!
356
The Earth's magnetic poles pull and push a compass needle's magnetic poles,
357
and that's what causes the compass to point north.
358
So why do you think our sewing needle pointed north?
359
That's right!
360
I said the needle of a compass is a magnet,
361
so… Yeah, that's it!
362
Our sewing needle became a magnet!
363
That first step we did,
364
where we rubbed the needle with your magnet,
365
actually magnetized the sewing needle.
366
In other words, it turned it into a magnet.
367
The pointy end became the north pole of a magnet,
368
and the other end became the south pole.
369
You know, Squeaks, you're absolutely right.
370
It seems like the north pole of the Earth should repel the north pole of our compass needle.
371
Here's the weird thing.
372
The Earth's North magnetic pole is actually in the South,
373
and its South magnetic pole is in the North.
374
So the Earth's South magnetic pole is pulling the North pole of our needle to the North,
375
and the Earth's North magnetic pole is pulling the South pole of our needle to the South.
376
Which is weird and confusing, I know!
377
But hey, I didn't name these things.
378
Exactly, Squeaks!
379
Since the Earth's magnetic poles are always pulling on the poles of other magnets,
380
all we had to do to get our magnetized needle to
381
point north was let it freely spin about in response to those forces.
382
Which is what the foil and water were for.
383
Cool, huh?
384
Oh, whoa!
385
Look at the time!
386
We told Jessie we'd meet her in the garden to help pull weeds,
387
so we better get going.
388
And we'll look into getting you a compass that's a bit easier to carry around than this bowl.
389
That way, you can make your way to and from the river a little quicker next time.
390
I know one more trick we can do with magnets!
391
Can you think of anything else that you can do with magnets?
392
How many things can you find that they stick to?
393
Thanks for joining us!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
