Being a parent already has its stressors, but this year, homeschooling is becoming a new reality for so many. We commend parents who are now taking on the role of “teacher” and want to share some magnet tips and tricks to make your new “job” a little easier on you and your kids! Continue reading →
Running out of ideas for how to lead science class? We’ve got you covered with these magnetic DIYs and blogs full of magnetic information to make your job of “teacher” a little easier! Continue reading →
Are you cooped up in the house? Want to get the kids off the tv? Are you bored out of your mind? Here are some fun magnet experiments to try out as school lessons or time-spenders! Continue reading →
Ever wonder how you could make your very own Magnetometer? This DIY project allows you to do so right from the comfort of your home. Magnetometers measure the strength of magnetic fields – acting as an essential tool to assess the strength of permanent magnets and electromagnets in order to understand the field shape of nontrivial magnet configurations. Use these steps to create a pocket-size portable Magnetometer inside a Tic Tac Box! Continue reading →
Sensory activities are something that both children and adults can benefit from. This magnetic field sensory jar craft is no exception, allowing you to create something you can keep at your desk, take with you during long car rides—while you’re the passenger, of course—or keep by your bed to help you unwind and relax. This magnet craft only requires a...
It can be hard to find activities for the kids to do that are both educational and fun, but this experiment is just that. Keep your kids busy and their minds active this summer by making a magic spinning pen. The best part? You probably have all of the materials for this experiment already! Continue reading →
Magnets make music possible. How?
Magnets are an important component of speakers and headphones, as they convert electrical energy into sound energy. Magnets transmit the sound energy through the “cone” of the speaker. This description isn’t as complex as actual sound design, but it gives you a brief idea of how magnets play a role in sound transmission. Continue reading →
Temperature affects a lot of things, and magnets surely are no different. Extreme hot and cold temperatures can destabilize the balance between temperature and magnetic domains affecting the strength. But what is the threshold of temperatures that are beneficial versus which ones are weakening?
Try this science experiment to find out how temperature affects magnet strength! Continue reading →
Explaining the science of magnets to students can be difficult. Hearing the words come out of a teacher’s mouth is one thing but actually seeing the way magnets interact with each other and other materials can really help drive the point home.
These simple experiments with magnets will exhibit how magnets work while still keeping students’ attention. Continue reading →
