AWARD WINNING KIT BY DR. PENNY NORMAN.
Packed with parts and each accompanied by a superb manual. Includes quizzes and games to test and reinforce key concepts.
This should be one of your child’s first science kits. The large, color-coded magnets should be played with at an early age. The first 15 activities explore which metals stick to magnets, magnetic poles, attraction and repulsion, magnets through materials, and temporary magnets. The kits includes high quality, color-coded, ceramic magnets.
Activities in the first part of the book
- Draw with iron filings
- Discover what sticks to magnets
- Levitate and bounce rings
- Make a duck swim
- Create a temporary magnet
and much more…
Sometime between second and third grade, children should revisit this book, repeat their favorite activities, and do the more advanced projects in the later sections such as constructing a compass; exploring compass directions and discovering how motors work.
Requires one D cell battery (not supplied).
Please note: Our 70 x 12 x 5mm bar magnet (Code: MAGTH1874) makes an excellent complement to this kit.
