Magnets in Motion
This kit will be a sure winner in your
classroom! Plenty of magnets and
accessories allow young scientists to
create electric currents with falling
magnets, learn how subway and roller
coaster brakes work, and explore the
theory of Lenz’s Law. Kit includes:
aluminum, copper, and plastic tubes;
paperclips; neodymium magnets;
ceramic magnets; steel plug; rubber
bumpers; vinyl tubing; iron filings; compass;
and large nail. Comprehensive
activity book includes five experiments
and five projects. Grade 4 and up.

Physical Science
Magnetism
Levitron ® Platinum Pro
Spin the top — and watch it float! The Levitron ® spins and
surfs on magnetic waves! Pass your hand above, underneath,
and around the top. It will continue to spin and float
only touching air! The Levitron ® floats free in space, supported
only by the repelling magnetic force produced by
permanent magnets (no batteries required!). A scientific
theorem, that was advanced over a century ago, states
that this is impossible — yet this amazing top levitates
right before your eyes! You must see it to believe it! The
advanced design includes adjustable legs for ease in
leveling the device. Kit includes: floating top, magnetic
base, assortment of weights, clear plastic lifter
cover, adjustable leveling legs, instructional sheet,
and Levitron ® physics guide. Grades 6-12.

Magnets & Magnetism Lab Investigation
Your class will enjoy exploring the captivating world of magnetism. They’ll learn
about the nature of magnets, classify magnetic and nonmagnetic materials, discover
how objects can be magnetized and demagnetized, and understand the differences
between a permanent and a temporary magnet. By plotting actual magnetic fields,
students will also explore how compasses react to magnetism. The class will also
bridge the world between magnetism and electricity as they create an electromagnet,
investigate the effects of magnetic forces on electric currents, and identify applications
of electromagnetism. Sh. wt. 1.70 kgs.

Book & Magnet
Experiment Set
Perform dozens of astounding
effects with the world’s most powerful
magnet — neodymium! Neodymium is a rare
earth metal, which is element number 60 on the
periodic table of the elements. Neodymium magnets,
composed of an alloy of neodymium, boron, and iron,
are said to produce the most powerful magnetic forces in
the world. Both magnets generate a field of almost 5" and
are able to detect magnetic presence in remote sources.
So strong it can stop a clock, attract a dollar bill, remove
the iron from cereal, and more. Includes the Neodymium
Magnet and 39 Amazing Experiments with the Mega-
Magnet book. Sh. wt. 0.75 lbs.
SB31126M — $35.65
Neodymium Magnets
Neodymium (NdFeB) is the most
powerful magnet material in the
world. It is classified as an element
in the lanthanides section of the
periodic table. These are the super
strong magnets you have heard
about that can attract through
your hand! Specially shaped magnet
is .47" thick x .75" x 1 1 /3".
