published by the Exploratorium
This site from the Exploratorium provides a demonstration of how heating a permanent magnet can destroy its magnetism. You'll find a materials list, assembly instructions, and basic procedures for the activity.  Also, you'll see  an explanation of what happens in terms of the orientation of the atomic magnets in the metal.
