When it comes to sparking curiosity in the classroom, few things beat a hands-on science demonstration. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our Pyrolytic Graphite Floating Display Kit—a simple, safe, and mesmerizing way to bring the principles of diamagnetism and magnetic fields to life. Perfect for STEM educators, science clubs, and engineering demonstrations, the pyrolytic graphite classroom kit enables students...
Magnet-based experiments are a great choice for science fair projects because they are visual, hands-on, and easy to scale by grade level. This roundup of magnetic ideas for science fair projects includes five experiments that build scientific thinking. Each project includes a clear goal, simple materials, and guidance on which grade levels it fits best. Remember, neodymium magnets are extremely...
This experiment shows how magnets and electricity work together to create sound. It’s a great hands-on activity for science teachers, homeschoolers, and curious kids with close adult supervision. In this guide, you will learn what sound is, why magnets are inside every speaker, and how to turn a paper plate, cup, or box into a working speaker using a magnet...
If you're looking for a fun and fascinating way to explore magnetism, we’ve got just the thing: a DIY experiment to make a water restructurer using neodymium magnets. This experiment focuses on how magnetic fields influence how water flows, clings, and interacts with materials over time. This is a perfect experiment for curious minds of all ages. It doesn’t require...
