Magnets and compasses ? CVK case
This case contains teaching materials for experiments concerning two closely related topics: Magnets: The students investigate the properties of magnets.
Compass: Experiments with magnets hanging on a stand or floating on a polystyrene base encourage the students to observe and discover how the magnets, like a compass needle, always point north-south.
Description
Magnets: The students investigate the properties of magnets. By playing with the small magnetic cars or the hovering magnets, they are encouraged to make discoveries and to try to formulate their observations. Half of the bar magnets have unmarked poles, which enables the students to determine their polarity for themselves.
Compass: Experiments with magnets hanging on a stand or floating on a polystyrene base encourage the students to observe and discover how the magnets, like a compass needle, always point north-south. The students can build their own compass with a compass rose, pin, compass housing and a compass needle. They can use this new knowledge to discover the points of the compass and find themselves on a map etc.
The case contains equipment for 15 groups.
