Fiche à imprimer : Magnets : attirer et repousser (CM1)

Anglais	Français
a magnet 🧲	un aimant
to attract / to repel	attirer / repousser
The north pole and the south pole	le pôle nord et le pôle sud
It sticks to the magnet!	Ça colle à l'aimant !
Opposite poles attract.	Les pôles opposés s'attirent.
Is it magnetic?	Est-ce que c'est magnétique ?

Un aimant (a magnet) attire certains métaux, comme le fer (iron) et l'acier (steel) : un trombone, un clou... Mais il n'attire pas le bois, le plastique, ni même l'aluminium ou l'or ! Chaque aimant a deux pôles : nord et sud. Deux pôles opposés s'attirent (attract), deux pôles identiques se repoussent (repel). La boussole (a compass) contient un petit aimant qui montre le nord.
