Discover the wonders of magnetism through scientific exploration! The
Primary Science Magnet Set builds children’s understanding of basic
magnetism concepts through dynamic play. Magnify learning as children
engage with science!
Children using the Primary Science Magnet Set will:
• Explore similarities and differences among magnets
• Perform activities that are both engaging and educational
• Begin using basic vocabulary, such as attract and repel
• Learn about magnetic poles, and use this knowledge in play
Get ready for an adventure in magnetism!
Suggested Use:
• Introduce the Primary Science Magnet Set to children by showing and
naming the pieces. Demonstrate how each piece can be used in
experiments. (Note: A photo of each piece and its name is shown on
the reverse side of this guide.)
• Give children time to explore the components of the kit on their own.
This will ensure that they have a basic understanding of how the
pieces interact.
• Perform engaging activities with the 10 double-sided activity cards.
You may want to do them in order: 1 through 10. The activity cards are
easy to follow, fun, and educational. An adult should assist children or
oversee the activities. Some extra supplies (from home or school) may
be needed to complete the activities. These are listed on the cards.
• When clipping the cars onto the bar magnets, the N and S should be
facing down.
• Wipe pieces clean with a damp cloth.
