Product Description
Everyone deserves to have fun while learning about science and this magnetic kit is a great tool to learn with. The story of magnetism began with the discovery of the Lodestone in ancient Greece and China. Play around with the assortment of magnets in this set and discover how much fun you can have while you learn. Set contains 8 different sized and shaped magnets. Ages 5 years and older.
Product Description
Study the theory of Lenz's Law with our newest science kit! Kids will discover how a magnet produces its own electrical current to "slow" its descent through the tubes! Includes instruction booklet with dozens of activities.

 

Parenting Tip: Keep iron filings and simple magnets around for simple experiments and fun.  For example, sprinkle some iron filings in a small paper cup full of water and have your gifted child try to raise them to the top with a magnet -- without touching the water. How?  Finding out is part of the fun! 

Warning:  Keep magnets away from computers, floppy disks, credit cards and anything else with a magnetic strip.  If you don't, you'll lose all the data encoded on them!
