Physics in a Suitcase 7: Magnetism

Physics in a Suitcase 7: Magnetism – Magnetic Experiments Kit for the Classroom

The Magnetic Set from the Physics in a Suitcase series enables conducting magnetism experiments in accordance with the attached work cards included in the instruction. The set contains all magnets and compasses needed to explore the fundamental concepts of introductory magnetism. Students can study typical experiments such as north and south poles, eddy currents, and observe magnetic field lines using iron filings. All elements in the set are housed in an aluminum case lined with foam. Dimensions: 47 cm x 13.5 cm x 40 cm.

Experiments (work cards):

1. Magnetic and non-magnetic items
2. North and South Poles
3. The Earth is a giant magnet
4. Observation of magnetic fields using iron filings
5. Interactions between forces
6. Magnets of different strengths - the ferromagnetic chain
7. Eddy currents
