If you have budding electricity and magnet enthusiasts, you know that their brains are permanently bustling with ideas of circuits, electromagnets, and more. There's no better way to educate and encourage them in their passion than with the Electricity and Magnet Kit. This kit is ideal for electrical engineers and novice magnet fanatics who want to gain some hands-on experience in their field. With the Electricity and Magnet Kit, kids will design working electrical circuits, a real electromagnet, and more!
 
Featuring colorful, durable plastic and metal components, the Electricity and Magnet Kit can withstand a beating. Out of batteries? Don't worry, the kit includes a hand powered generator. This kit will run just as long as your little scientist. Treat kids to a "charged" kit that will "attract" their attention with the Electricity and Magnet Kit.

What's included?

  • Power generator and handle
  • Two curve magnets
  • Two cylindrical magnets and one frame
  • Two ring magnets
  • Electromagnet
  • Power source
  • Four connect boxes
  • Two connect "T"s
  • Two AA-batteries
  • One sound source
  • Two light bulbs
  • One fan
  • One LED light
  • Two wire connectors with alligator clips
  • One part separator

How does it work?

Concepts like electrical flow, open and closed circuits, magnetic fields, and strength of magnets come alive while kids construct the necessary tools and instruments on their own. Through letting young scientists engage with electricity, circuits, magnets, and magnetism in a hands-on fashion, the Electricity and Magnet Kit will allow a unique opportunity for children to experience and grasp these concepts at work.

What does it teach?

The Electricity and Magnet Kit features seven different learning "groups" that include magnetic characteristics, direct circuits, magnetic field & electrical field conversion, directional currents, and more. Each learning group includes dedicated experiments and informational demonstrations, over 35 in all!

My son is doing a science fair project. The Magnet kit really came in handy. He has learned a lot about magnets. The whole family sat down and went through the box and did each experiment. Then we started creating our own. My son and husband hooked up the Generator, curve magnets, and wires to a voltage meter to show the judges at the science fair the voltage that can be produced from the small hand generator. Thanks for Everything! My kids love Steve Spangler! Especially my little Science Bug ... Austin! Thanks again!

We love it
