Magnetic Science

This science experiment kit contains many magnets of different shapes and sizes, and a variety of other components with which you can explore this classic scientific subject. Experiment to determine which materials are magnetic and which are not. Learn about magnetic poles and magnetic fields. Discover how Earth behaves like one giant magnet, and how we use compasses to take advantage of this phenomenon to determine which way is north. Conduct a series of experiments to learn first hand how magnets behave and interact under different conditions. Make invisible magnetic fields visible using iron filings in an enclosed transparent box. Build an electromagnet to learn how electricity relates to magnetism. Finally, have some fun with what you have learned by playing some games with magnets. The full-color, 48-page manual guides your experiments with illustrated step-by-step instructions.

Safety Information:

Warning! Do not bring the magnets close to television sets, computers, computer diskettes, music cassettes, videotapes, or ATM or credit cards. The data stored in them could be damaged or lost! For the experiments, you will need one 1.5-volt AA-type penlight battery, which could not be included in the kit due to its limited shelf life. Under no circumstances are more or different batteries to be used than what is specified here. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Never try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. They could explode! Never bring batteries into contact with other metal objects, such as key rings or coins. Avoid bending or distorting batteries. Never throw batteries into flame or store them near heat sources. Do not use electrical outlets for any experiments! Never insert wires or other metal pieces into outlets! The electrical voltage (110 volts) can kill you! When experimenting, avoid connecting the battery terminals directly to each other — the battery could explode! Avoid short-circuiting the battery or batteries. After the experiments, always completely disconnect the electrical or electromagnetic circuit from the battery and store separately. Dead, used-up batteries are to be disposed of properly at collection locations, not simply thrown into the trash. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries. WARNING! Not suitable for children under 8 years. This product contains small magnets. Swallowed magnets can stick together across intestines causing serious injuries. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are swallowed. CAUTION! Some parts of this kit have pointed or sharp corners or edges due to their function. Do not injure yourself! CAUTION! Not suitable for children under 3 years of age. There is a risk of choking or suffocation, since small parts could be swallowed or inhaled. Save packaging and instructions, as they contain important information.
