How do household goods use magnets?
Speakers and motors use magnets. Using electricity, the electromagnets create a magnetic force which reacts against the permanent magnets in these devices, thus creating motion. Magnets are used in cabinet latches to help them to stay closed. Screwdriver tips are sometimes magnetized to help hold the screw on the end or to help retrieve a dropped screw. Magnets are often used to hold things onto metal objects. Refrigerator magnets are one example. Common objects may have magnets attached to hold them onto refrigerators and other metal objects like lockers and metal cabinets.

What should you do if your caught outside in a thunderstorm?
If you have a car go into it, it's one of the safest places to be during a lightning storm because of the rubber tires. If not possible, make yourself as small as can be. Avoid anything metal, remove any metal you may have on. DON'T hide under a tree, as they may be tall enough to attract lightning--trees are like jumbo lightning rods because they are filled with water. The best thing to do would probably be to curl yourself up into a ball (Make yourself as SMALL AS POSSIBLE) and wait it out... if you can't go into a building or anything.
