Dowling Magnets Kinetic Magnetics Magnet Review

Place the magnet wires on the base, activate them, and watch the unique ways they oscillate as their invisible forces "bounce" off one another! Ideal for an individual or 1 small group of students in grades 3 - 8. Includes 4 magnet wires, 12 disc weights, base plate, activation ring, and activity booklet. Some additional common office supplies and common household materials are needed: pencil, paper, string or thread, scissors, tape, compass or equivalent app on smart phone, stopwatch or equivalent app on smart phone, and cushiony packing materials such as foam, bubble wrap, and/or tissue paper. Activity booklet features 6 activities with answers, basic science/magnet safety information, and tips for use. Conduct NGSS-aligned experiments that explore force and motion, stability and change, energy, structure and properties of matter, waves, engineering design, cause and effect, patterns, and more! Activities include 1. Attract & Repel, 2. Make a Compass, 3. Perpetual Notions, 4. Dangling Challenge, 5. Wiggle Wires, and 6. Earthquake-Resistant Structures. Magnet wires on steel base measures approximately 4" L x 4" W x 9" H. Great for students in classroom labs (grades 3 - 8), STEM programs, science fairs, maker spaces, engineering clubs, and even at-home experiments.
