Electricity & Magnetism Experiment Kit

Teach kids about the fundamental properties of electricity and magnetism with 60 electrifying experiments in this Electricity and Magnetism Kit from Thames & Kosmos! With the items inside, curious learners will not only discover circuits and magnetic contraptions with functional devices, but they'll also show the relationship between electricity and magnetism in meaningful ways.

Use this kit to make learning fun! The included manual guides kids as young as 8 years old as they safely and easily conduct tests and a series of experiments to learn about electric current and the earth's magnetic fields.

Electricity Experiments:

• Build series & parallel circuits
• Light up a light bulb
• Power a spinning motor, two switches & up to three light bulbs
• Experiment with push buttons and switches
• And more!

Magnetism Experiments:

• Test which materials are magnetic
• Learn about the force of magnetism & magnetic poles
• Investigate magnetic force & direction with a magnetic pendulum device
• Use iron filings to make invisible magnetic fields visible
• And more!

Electricity & Magnetism Experiments:

• Construct a loudspeaker
• Make an electromagnetic relay switch
• Build a Morse code telegraph key
• Conduct a variety of experiments with a sturdy electromagnet
• And more!
