The unique of magnet behaviour has been explored by many parties and attracted them to describe its characteristics using analogy. The use of magnetism concepts analogy are varies including those in the field of education. As a part of a research aiming to investigate culture-based elementary school students' analogical thinking skill, a study on magnetism concepts analogy has been carried out. By using interview, documentary study and literature review methods, several analogies of magnetism concepts were generated with the basis of various sources of students' cultural background and learning materials. This paper discusses the analogies, particularly those which can be delivered in elementary school science class, and their implication for education of Pesisir (costal) students. Based on the review and discussion, it was concluded that the analogies of magnetism concepts facilitate people with high educational values which can be put into practice in science learning for Pesisir area students. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
