Demonstrate  the mysterious forces of magnetism. Explore the interaction of magnets and iron filings while learning the intriguing science behind it. This kit includes a super-strong Alnico cow magnet, sealed plastic display tube with iron filings and an exciting activity booklet. The secret to the "mystery" is  behind the super-strong Alnico Cow Magnet which is in a sealed holder inside the viewing tube. Slide the magnet up and down to change the shape and position of the iron filings. Makes a great demonstration of the properties of magnetism and is a cool science toy.

What you'll get:

• Mysterious Magnet Tube - A sealed 4" x 3" round acrylic viewing tube that is filled with 1.3 oz of iron filings.
• Super-strong Alnico Cow Magnet hidden in the inner chamber of the tube.
• Activity Booklet.

Incredible Science Fun Learning Ideas:

• Explore magnets and the repelling and attracting forces. Discuss north and south magnet poles and determine which sides repel and which sides attract.
• Use magnetic attraction to create amorphous iron filing magnet shapes.
• Experiment with different speeds and variables to determine if the iron filings react differently and what causes the shape to change.
