Product Details

Explore the captivating world of magnetism with this all-in-one kit.
  • Properties of Magnets—Learn about the nature of magnets by classifying materials as magnetic or nonmagnetic and by feeling attractive and repulsive magnetic forces.
  • Building an Electromagnet—Bridge the world between electricity and magnetism. 
  • Electromagnetic Induction—Investigate Faraday’s Law by building a simple galvanometer. 
  • Build a DC Motor—Apply the concept of electromagnetism to construct a model of a working DC motor.
This complete activity-stations lab kit is excellent for either introductory or advanced-level classes. Easy-to-set-up lab stations allow different student groups to work independently to examine a specific aspect of magnetism. Once one activity is complete, students move on to the next lab station. Detailed instructions and Teacher Notes are provided.

Super Value Kit is complete for 16 student groups. All materials are reusable. 9-V batteries are required and available separately.

Performance Expectations

MS-PS4-1: Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
MS-PS4-2: Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
HS-PS4-1: Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media.
