Each brightly-colored wand contains a strong ceramic magnet that can be used to pick up paper clips, small metal objects or iron filings. These wands are great for introducing young scientists to magnetism for the first time! Recommended for children ages 6 and up.

What's included?

• 1, 3, or 15 Magnetic Wands in assorted colors

How does it work?

Wave your wand over all kinds of objects to see if they're magnetic! Experiment with iron filings and paper clips! Figure out what's "attractive" and what's not! Check out our Iron Filing Case that allows kids to study magnetism without spilling the filings on the floor (WMIF-100).

What does it teach?

Students learn about the principles of magnetism, and discover the science behind magnetic fields, friction, and the magnetic poles of the earth.
