Magnets are made from a rock called magnetite. For example we will take a bar magnet it is made up of tiny bar magnets, they are called magnetic domains. Magnetic domains only exist in special kinds of metals such as iron, nickel and cobalt. Other metals like aluminium or copper don't have magnetic domains.

Magnets have south poles and north poles. For example a south pole will only attract a north pole of another magnet and a south pole will repel the south pole of another magnet.

The science of this is that like poles repel and unlike poles attract. The earth is a complete magnet and is the largest magnet in the world. It is complete with a north pole and a south pole.
