No child should miss out on playing with magnets.  Discovering what stick to magnets is not only fun but also builds an early foundation in science. By bouncing color-coded ring magnets, children learn about attracting and repelling magnets.  By using magnets to move objects through a variety of materials, they internalize the concept of action at a distance. In this kit, children not only learn to about these concepts, but they also can begin to comprehend compasses, compass directions, how an electric motor works, and more.  You can teach on what kinds of metals stick to magnets, the magnetic poles, what the biggest magnet in the world is, seeing the power of magnets through various materials, special metals, and more. 22 different activities are featured in this great kit on the wonders of magnetism.
