Description
Grades 3–8. This exciting demonstration is a great activity to introduce magnetism, visualize magnetic field lines, and even study force and motion through collisions and oscillations from magnetic forces. A clear window and transparent tray give students a unique top-down view to observe magnetic force and kinetic interactions. Students can watch iron filings dance, propel steel balls inside a viewing tray, create a magnet painting, dangle magnet wires upside down to study oscillations, and more. Includes a full-color, 40-page teacher’s guide with lesson plans, photos, experiments with guided inquiry, and cross-cutting concepts investigating magnetism and kinetic interactions. Contains enough materials for up to 4 small groups. Ideal for classrooms, makerspaces, science fairs, STEM programs (with STEAM activities), and other educational settings.
