Drop the magnet through the tube and it shoots out the other side. Drop it once more and it appears to "float" in mid air! What happened? With this exciting new science kit, kids will discover how a magnet produces its own electrical current, which in turn creates a new magnetic field. This field "slows" the magnet's descent through the tube, according to Lenz's Law!

What's included?

Kit includes a variety of different types of magnets, tubes made from copper, steel, and plastic, plus iron filings. Instruction booklet contains lots of exciting experiments for children 8 and up.
