ScienceWiz(R) Online Discovery Magnetism Magnetism: This kit
includes color coded magnets. With this color coding, children can
discover for themselves how magnets attract and repel. The Magnetism
kit includes a highly visual, full color, step-by-step, 40 page science
book, multiple magnets, a compass and iron filings, as well as other
materials. This Online Discovery version also includes a flip-book
with embedded animations, videos, games, additional projects and
interactive simulations.
There are 22 projects in Magnetism, INCLUDING:
- Testing which objects stick to magnets and which do not
- Attracting, repelling and floating with magnets
- Discovering whether ALL metals stick to magnets
- Detecting which metal objects contain iron
- Making and exploring with a compass
- Determining which windows are facing North and which are facing South
- Using iron filings to visualize the lines of force
- Figuring out that magnetic force works through materials
including cardboards, water, wood and even the entire Earth. - Making a temporary magnet from a permanent magnet.
Finally, they make an electromagnet, learn how to turn it on and off,
and how to flip its poles. With this knowledge, they are on their way to
understanding how electric motors work.
The kit includes a handle box for easy storage and transport.
