Product Overview
The 4M KidzLabs Magnet Science kit offers 10 hands-on experiments and games that let kids ages 8 and up explore magnetic forces through construction and play. Featuring powerful bar magnets and ring magnets, the kit includes materials to build a super magnet racer, a compass yacht that floats and aligns with Earth's magnetic field, a mysterious dangler, and magnetic sculptures. Kids can also play a fishing game with magnetic fish and metal screw nuts while discovering which items are magnetic and observing magnetic interactions.
- Build 10 different magnetic experiments including a racer, compass yacht, dangler, and sculptures
- Powerful bar magnets and ring magnets let kids construct projects that demonstrate magnetic forces
- Includes magnetic fish and metal screw nuts for testing which materials attract
- Hands-on assembly and experimentation for kids ages 8 and up
