Everyone loves Bill Nye and his explanations. In this video we are introduced to magnetism. The video explains that opposite forces attract and like forces repel. The video also explains what would happen to a magnet if it was cut in half. This is a very important concept that is normally overlooked by many individuals. I also found this video helpful since it gave real life examples of magnets in our world. The video does not explain magnetic fields and what they look like which is a very important concept to understand when learning about magnetism. This video does however, explain what magnets are made out of and that our planet is a giant magnet due to the spinning core.

I agree with you, especially since we used the same source! I like how you pointed out what the video does and does not explain, this can really help a student know if they are not including important information.
