Dowling Magnets Magnetic Field Viewing Kit with Steel Filings

Description:

About this item:

  • Includes 2 magnets (.75 inch disc magnet and 1 inch bar magnet) and 1 filing-filled tray measuring 3.44 inches in diameter. The small bar magnet has color coded poles (red north and blue south).
  • Features scratch-resistant plastic, rubber-coated magnets, and clean steel flings for clear viewing! Filings are sealed inside a mess-free, transparent viewing tray made of special scratch-resistant plastic that stands up to classroom use. Steel filings (cleaner than iron filings) ensure cloud-free viewing. Magnets are rubber-coated to prevent scratching of the viewing tray.
  • View a magnet’s invisible lines of force and manipulate it with our own hands! Place a magnet under the dish. Gently shake the dish. Tip the dish to one side, so the extra flings inside fall away from the magnet. Notice how certain areas of the magnet attract more filings. Those areas are the magnet’s poles. How do the areas of attraction of the disc magnet differ from those of the bar magnet? Where are the disc magnet’s poles? Where are the bar magnet’s poles? “Breaks” in the pattern of the filings inside the dish indicate the separations between the poles of the magnet.
  • Explore the basics of magnetism (attraction, repulsion, polarity, and more). US safety tested for ages 8+/grades 3+.
  • Stays clear! Steel flings are sealed inside a mess-free, transparent viewing tray made of special scratch-resistant plastic that stands up to classroom use. Steel filings (cleaner than iron filings) ensure cloud-free viewing. Learn how a magnet’s invisible force field works—view it up close and manipulate it with your own hands! Explore the basics of magnetism (attraction, repulsion, polarity, and more). Compare and contrast the magnetic fields of a bar and disc magnet. Includes rubber-coated magnets (.75 inch disc magnet and 1 inch bar magnet)—that won’t cause scratching—and filing-filled tray measuring 3.44 inches in diameter. Ages 8+/Grades 3+

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great For The Classroom!

    Besides being a great fidget item for adults, it is perfect for helping students visualize the shape of a magnetic field. I end up giving these away to students, so when I come across one I buy a spare. This one works well, and comes with two magnets, a button and a bar. You can tell that they are polarized differently from each other. The magnets provided have a coating on them, which protects the plastic case from being scratched. Be aware, though, that rubbing uncoated magnets over the plastic case will scratch it. That is not a defect with this product at all. I paint all of my uncoated magnets that I wish to use with these plastic cased demonstrators. This is a decent product. Buy one for yourself and your kids!

    The filings are just the right size for this demo and the yellow puck magnet works great, the plastic is more than clear enough, well worth it!!

    The plastic scratched way too easily. Should be made of glass, maybe.

    I wanted stocking stuffers for my grandchildren at Christmas. The magnet is small enough to fit in a stocking. It comes with extra parts to use to show the power of the magnet. My grandchildren enjoyed playing around with them and seeing what the magnetic particles inside the plastic dome would look like with different situations. I would recommend this for an inexpensive scientific toy for children.
