A resource designed for children's first experience with magnetism. The magnet bar and horseshoe magnet are detachable, allowing children to hold the magnet and place it on the material windows to test how different materials react differently. Children can also place magnets on the sliding magnet to experience the how magnetic force can lift and move objects, also showing how magnetic power can overcome the weight of an object. When placing the magnets close to the liquid tube filled with metal powder, children will be amazed by how the powder reacts to magnetic fields. Made from birch ply. Measures 46cmH x 46cmW. Ages 3yrs+.

 

This activity board can be wall mounted or used with the Tabletop Stand (#35350), the Floor Stand (#35351), the Mobile STEM Walls (#35020 & #35021).

What makes Magnetrix so special?

 

Magnetrix shows children the phenomena of magnetic poles, magnetization, same-charges repulsion and opposites attract through magnetic experiments.

• Explore fascinating magnetic effects while making magnetic forces visible
• Provides important experiences about invisible force fields
• Has a high level of challenge for children from preschool age and up
• No risk of injury due to magnets firmly connected to wooden parts
• Magnetrix has storage compartments preventing the experimental parts accidentally sticking together
• Suitable for 1-4 children at a time

 

Why are magnets so fascinating? Why do screws stick to the tip of a screwdriver? Why is the note sticking to the refrigerator door? Magnetrix provides answers to these questions and gives children a lot of useful experiences with magnetic forces in a playful way.

 

The Magnetrix Experiments Box measures 43.5cmW x 31cmD x 11.5cmH.
