Magnetic Marvels

Over 30 cool activities inside! Discover the mystery and magic of magnets with this amazing kit. If you are the kind of cool-kid-scientist that likes to build, experiment, and discover things yourself, then this is the kit for you. With this kit you will:
Learn how compasses work, and build your own "water compass."
Find and catch iron from dirt and even from breakfast cereal. See through a metal tube with "X-ray" paper.
Build your own electromagnet.
Create and play your own magnet games, such as "hairy face art." magnet maze," and "forest of nails."
Make a paperclip float in the air.
Make magnetic putty move toward and "swallow" a super magnet.
Use iron filings and the magnet in your kit to see actual magnetic fields.
Make disc magnets bounce and hover in the air. And many, many more cool science experiments and activities. You'll also learn some amazing science facts: What causes the Northern Lights? Can lightning really create magnets? How do compasses work? Are there really trains that float? How do magnets work, anyway, and what do they have to do with electricity? You'll discover the answer to all of these and more as you embark on an incredible science adventure. Amaze your parents and astound your friends with your amazing magnet magics and musings. Science Principles explored in this kit: Physics Note TO PARENTS: This is truly an amazing kit full of science discovery and learning. Your young scientist will be discovering true science principles in a visual and hands-on fashion. Because this kit offers real opportunities for learning and discovery with actual science equipment, there are a few precautions to be aware of:
Your magnets are real! Be sure to keep them (especially your super magnet) away from electronic equipment such as TVs, computers, cell phones, and cameras.
Be careful when using your super magnet with your other two magnets. They like to snap together, even if things like fingers get in the way.
As always, keep your experiments away from your eyes, nose, mouth, pets, and babies. The magnetic putty might swallow the super magnet, but you wouldn't want Fluffy or your young scientist's baby brother to do so! With these pointers in mind, you and your young scientist are ready for a world of science fun and learning. You will be able to act as a facilitator as your scientist experiments and discovers the science principles of magnets, and learns about real world applications and examples. Have fun exploring! Magnetic MARVELS LEARN MORE! Magnetic fields are very cool and very real, but they usually can't be seen. Your kit will provide you with the opportunity of visualizing, testing, discovering, and understanding magnetic fields as you perform all kinds of experiments. You'll even be able to make and play with your own science toys. Best of all, you'll come away from the experiments in this kit even smarter and more amazing than you are now.
