Thames & Kosmos Magnetic Science

Explore the power of magnets with the 33 engaging experiments and games in this kit! Magnets of different sizes and shapes allow students to experiment to determine which materials are magnetic and which are not; learn about magnetic poles and magnetic fields; discover how Earth behaves like one giant magnet, and how we use compasses to take advantage of this phenomenon to determine which way is north; conduct a series of experiments to learn firsthand how magnets behave and interact under different conditions; make invisible magnetic fields visible using iron filings in an enclosed transparent box; build an electromagnet to learn how electricity relates to magnetism; and finally, have some fun with what you have learned by playing some games with magnets. The full-color, 48-page manual guides your experiments with illustrated step-by-step instructions.
