Get your motor running as you explore the wonders of magnets! Build different kinds of generators and motors—simple ones, a motor-generator pair, a motor with speed control, and a generator that powers an LED! Created by a high school science teacher who really knows his stuff. Includes a comprehensive activity guide designed to boost students’ prior knowledge of the basics of magnetism before they jump into the more complex projects.
6 Projects: Detect electrical flow, simple generator & motor pair, different kind of generator, faster motor, motor with speed control, and generator that powers a light bulb.
Aligns with Next Generation Science Standards. Assembly normally requires teacher or parent participation. Includes neodymium and ceramic magnets, LED, compasses, iron filings, wood, plastic plates, tubes, straw, wire, spring, nails, screws, nuts, bolts, cork, paper clips, sand paper, and activity guide.
Usage tips: Avoid dropping or banging. Ceramic magnets that have been dropped or impacted by force are likely to break or chip. Storage: Store all magnets away from electronics, high heat, and direct sunlight. Child safety tested for ages 10+/grades 5+.
