• Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials.
• Science, Year 3, Forces & Magnets
• Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others.
• Science, Year 5, Properties & Changes of Materials
• Compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets.
• A robust plastic horseshoe magnet, perfect for exploring magnetic forces and material properties.
• Features clearly marked North and South poles to aid in educational demonstrations of magnetic principles.
• This large plastic horseshoe magnet is an essential teaching tool for understanding magnetic properties and forces. It supports science curricula in Year 3 and Year 5, helping educators facilitate lessons on the behaviour of different materials in a magnetic field.
• For Year 3 students, the magnet is used to demonstrate and classify materials based on their reaction to magnetic forces, enhancing their critical thinking and scientific skills.
