Magnetism and magnets are used in a lot of different things in day to day life. Some of the common examples :
1. Magnetism is one way to separate a mixture of 2 solids.
2. Magnetism is used by railroads, both on tracks and on top lines sometimes.
3. Lotta games use magnets, for ex. Chess pieces etc.
4. Electromagnets are used in many places.

Homing pigeons use magnetism through tiny iron crystals in their beaks. Turtles use magnetism by sensing slight differences in magnetism throughout the ocean. It keeps them in the cycle of warm waters in a specific 8,000 mile path that they swim for years.
When current flows in a conductor there is a magnetic field formed around the conductor. This magnetic field can be used to make an electric magnet (like the ones used at junkyards), motors also use magnetism to operate, and many switches (solenoid, motor starters, and relay switches) use magnetism to open or close.
The Latin translation for Magnetism is Magnetismus.
Some clocks, especially those with mechanical movements, may use magnetism in their design to regulate or control the timekeeping mechanism. For example, some clocks may use a magnetic balance wheel or electromagnetic coils to help keep time accurately. However, quartz clocks and digital clocks typically do not rely on magnetism for their operation.
Yes, the "old" televisions use magnetism to controll the movements of the electrons.
No
Penguins use magnetism in order to turn sucrose (a disaccharide) into glucose and fructose (monosaccharides).
Magnetism, people believed it was magical because they had no understanding of the forces of magnetism.
No
They don't, they use wings.
no
Yes, it does.

The magnetic hold in coil uses magnetism along with the electric motor that turns the drum.
If a group of people go camping and loose their way they would use a compass to read their map effectively (assuming they have no cellphone or GPS). A compass is controlled by magnetism therefore it would be vital to the campers in this situation. Hope this helps!
