What Makes the Magnets in Motion Kit Special?

This STEM kit is perfect for exploring the forces and magnetism section of the curriculum, offering:

All equipment included: No need to source materials; everything you need is in the box.

Full learning explanations: Clear guides ensure both teachers and pupils understand the science behind the activities.

Homework ideas: Extend the lesson with take-home challenges.
Extension ideas: Keep advanced learners engaged with creative problem-solving tasks.

Learning outcomes: Activities are linked directly to curriculum goals, ensuring measurable progress.

Practical Science with a Purpose

The Magnets in Motion STEM Kit allows pupils to explore magnetic forces through interactive activities such as:

• Testing magnetic strength.
• Investigating how magnets attract and repel.
• Exploring everyday uses of magnets.

These activities align perfectly with curriculum topics like working scientifically and encourage skills like observation, prediction, and analysis.

Learning Information and Links

Each activity in the kit is supported by comprehensive learning information and direct curriculum links. This means pupils not only understand what they are doing but also why it matters. For example, pupils can explore how magnetic forces work without direct contact, linking their findings to practical uses like compasses or magnetic levitation.

Cross-Curricular Connections

This kit provides opportunities to integrate multiple subjects, including:

• Science: Understanding the properties of magnets and forces.
• Maths: Measuring distances or forces, and recording results in tables.
• Design and Technology: Creating magnetic games or practical tools.

Ideas for Homework and Extensions

• Magnetic Scavenger Hunt: Pupils find and list magnetic objects at home and categorise them based on strength or material.
• Everyday Magnet Uses: Research and write about how magnets are used in technology, transport, or medicine.
  Extension Ideas:
• Design a Magnetic Tool: Challenge pupils to invent a tool or toy using magnets and explain how it works.
• Investigate Magnetic Fields: Use iron filings or paper clips to map out the magnetic field of different magnets.
