Stroke a magnet down the length of the pin repeatedly. The proximity and movement of the magnet along the pin cause some of the iron molecules to become aligned like those in the magnet. The more strokes, the stronger the magnetic field in the pin will become, up to a certain threshold (the number of iron molecules available and able to align in the pin is limited).

Why can magnets only attract pins and not matches?
MAGNETS ATTRACT IRON! The pin is made of an iron so it is able to attract to the magnet. The match on the other hand, is made of cardboard paper substance. Paper and cardboard both DO NOT contain iron. That is why magnets attract pins but not matches.
A mixture of pins and toothpicks?
A mixture of pins and toothpicks can be separated by using a magnet to attract the pins and leaving the toothpicks behind. Alternatively, the mixture can be sifted through a sieve to separate the larger pins from the smaller toothpicks.
What do magnets not attract to?
what will not attract to a magnet
What happens when you dip a bar magnet in a pile of pins?
When you dip a bar magnet into a pile of pins, the magnetic field of the bar magnet induces magnetism in the pins, causing them to become temporarily magnetized. As a result, the pins are attracted to the magnet and will stick to it. This phenomenon occurs because the magnetic domains within the pins align with the magnetic field of the bar magnet, allowing them to respond to the magnetic force. Once removed from the magnet, most pins will lose their magnetism and return to their non-magnetic state.
How can you separate the mixture of a broken jar of pins?
Grab a magnet. The magnet should pick the pins up and leave the broken glass behind
Why when we attract two pins with a magnet the pins will repel?
If you can attract the same two pins with one magnet, then they are both of either positive or negative charge. Because they have the same charge, the pins will repel each other.
Explain why a magnet can attract pins but not matches?
A magnet is made of 'Soft' Iron. A pin has steel (iron) in it. A match does NOT have iron in it.
Will a magnet attract steel safety pins?
Yes it is

Why do magnets attract?
the south side of one magnet attract to the north side of the other magnet; opposites attract. The molecules get attracted.
How can you separate aluminum pins and iron pins easily?
Use a magnet, that will separate all the iron pins
How do you separate steel pins and wooden toothpicks?
Use magnet to separate pins :)
What is used for storing pins or needles?
I prefer to store my needles in a smaller, separate container from my pins. I store my straight pins in a paper clip holder with a magnet in the top; this keeps the pins in the container well and the magnet aids in retrieving stray pins.
