This set is an invaluable teaching tool designed to provide younger students and budding scientists with a visual, creative, and hands on understanding of electromagnets. First students observe the function of electromagnets. The students then work in groups to create their own electromagnets. Through creative thinking within their groups they then develop a list of physical properties that can be changed about their magnet before finally developing their own experiments to observe the effect of these changes on the strength of the magnetic field. While learning about magnetism students also learn about creating a hypothesis and how it is applied to scientific investigation. Includes enough supplies for six groups to work simultaneously within a classroom setting.
Entire kit includes: (6) electromagnetic coils, (6) aluminum cores, (6) iron cores and (30) banana plug wires.
