• 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.
• This set pairs magnetic and non-magnetic objects, perfect for exploring magnetism.
• This kit includes two magnetic wands and various objects in labelled pots for engaging magnetism experiments.
• Understanding magnetic and non-magnetic materials is crucial in science education, and hands-on learning provides an effective approach. The magnetic materials testing kit facilitates this by offering a selection of materials for direct exploration. This enhances the learning experience by allowing children to see firsthand the effects of magnetism, including attraction and repulsion.
• This kit supports Year 3 and Year 5 science objectives by focusing on forces, magnets, and the properties of materials. In Year 3, it introduces magnetism through physical interaction, leading to Year 5 where the curriculum's focus broadens to include material properties and their reactions to magnets.
Please note: The kit contains magnets or magnetic components. Immediate medical attention is necessary if magnets are swallowed or inhaled, to prevent serious or fatal injury.
• Clearly labelled materials for magnetism experiments
• Includes two magnetic wands
