Thames & Kosmos Exploration Series: Magnetic Science
Explore the invisible and the amazing power of magnets with 33 in-depth, engaging experiments and games. This science experiment kit contains many magnets of different shapes and sizes, and a big variety of cool components with which you can explore this classic scientific subject.
Get to Know:
Experiment to determine which materials are magnetic and which are not. Teach about magnetic poles and a magnetic field. Discover how the Earth behaves like a massive magnet and how we use compasses to take advantage of this natural phenomenon to determine which way is north. Conduct a series of experiments to learn first hand how magnets behave and interact under different conditions.
Make invisible magnetic fields visible using iron filings in the closed, transparent box. Kids will build their electromagnet to learn how electricity directly relates to magnetism. Finally, have some fun with what you have learned by playing some games with magnets. The full-color, 48-page manual guides all the experiments with illustrated step-by-step instructions.
