Magnet kit (China)

Unlock the Mysteries of Physics with the Ultimate Kids Magnetism Discovery Kit!

Introduce your child to the invisible forces of nature with this complete, hands-on Fundamental Magnetism STEM Kit. Perfectly sized for little hands and early learners, this educational set is the ideal tool for exploring the captivating world of magnetic attraction, repulsion, and polarity.

Watch your young scientist's face light up as they experiment with the classic horseshoe magnet, test magnetic poles with the bar magnet, or make rings float in mid-air! Designed specifically to align with primary school science topics—including the South African CAPS curriculum for Grades 1 through 6—this kit effortlessly turns abstract textbook concepts into fun, tactile reality.

What's Inside the Box:

• 1 x Classic Horseshoe (U-Shaped) Magnet (Color-coded North/South)
• 1 x Traditional Bar Magnet (Stamped N/S)
• 2 x Magnetic Rings (Perfect for levitation experiments)
• 2 x Polished Oval Magnets (Great for kinetic motion tests)
• 1 x Spool of String & Fishing Attachment (For suspension and magnetic fishing games)
• 1 x Cute Lion Cardstock Cutout (To demonstrate force fields passing through objects)

Why Parents and Teachers Love It:

• CAPS Curriculum Aligned: Ideal for Grade 1–3 Life Skills and Grade 4–6 Natural Sciences & Technology modules.
• 100% Screen-Free Fun: Encourages critical thinking, spatial reasoning, and independent problem-solving away from tablets and phones.
• Safe and Durable: Made with non-toxic, kid-friendly materials built to withstand active classroom environments and home play.
• Perfect for Science Expos: Gives students all the fundamental tools needed to ace their primary school science fair projects and practical assessments.

CAPS Grades

This kit is primarily designed for Foundation Phase and Intermediate Phase learners, as it deals entirely with permanent magnets and magnetic forces rather than dynamic electric currents.

1. Foundation Phase: Grade 1, 2, and 3 (Life Skills: Beginning Knowledge)

• Curriculum Context: Learners are introduced to the properties of different materials in their everyday environment.
• Kit Application: Ideal for introducing the basic concept of attraction. Teachers use it to show that magnets stick to certain metals (like iron/steel paperclips) but do not stick to plastic, wood, or paper.

2. Intermediate Phase: Grade 4 and 5 (Natural Sciences and Technology)

• Term 1 (Grade 4): Matter and Materials
• Application: Testing solid materials to sort them into "magnetic" and "non-magnetic" categories.
• Term 1 (Grade 5): Metals and Non-metals
• Application: Deepening the understanding of property differences between metallic items and non-metals.

3. Intermediate Phase: Grade 6 (Natural Sciences and Technology)

• Term 3 Topic: Electric Circuits (Introduction to Fields)
• Application: Before learners study electromagnets (like the circuit kit you viewed earlier), they must understand how permanent magnets work.
• Key Concept: Using the bar and horseshoe magnets to demonstrate the Laws of Magnetism (Like poles repel each other; opposite poles attract each other).
