Magnets for classic physics experiments

When the magnetic field and its impact comes up in the physics curriculum, horseshoe and rod magnets are important learning tools. You can purchase these magnets in various designs in our online shop. They are typically painted in red and green to mark the north and south pole. They consist of aluminum-nickel-cobalt and iron, which makes them less brittle and more heat-resistant and they don't break as easily. Hence, AlNiCo magnets can be shaped into angled and round rods as well as horseshoes, which makes them perfect for demonstrating the impact of a magnetic field. The school magnets make it easy to follow the concept of magnetic attraction and repulsion. As visual aids, they make the theory better understandable for the students.

Fascinate students with magnetic fluid Ferrofluid

Ferrofluid also makes for impressive experiments in physics class. It is a special fluid because it contains tiny ferromagnetic particles. They are approximately 0.00001 mm and not visible to the naked eye. Ferrofluid, therefore, reacts extremely strong to magnetic fields and produces spectacular sculptures with a neodymium magnet and metal parts such as screws. It seems as if the fluid comes to life. If you would like to experiment with magnets in school, you can order this fluid from us in a 10 ml flask. When you are done with your experiment, you can refill the Ferrofluid with a pipette.

Accessories for school magnets

If you would like to explain the phenomenon of magnetism to your students, special aids come in handy. You can use iron filing or flux detectors, for instance, to demonstrate magnetic fields of horseshoe and other school magnets. You can purchase these from us as well as steel spheres in different sizes from 8 to 20 mm. They work well to visualise the immense strength of neodymium magnets.
Other aids to make magnetism understandable and visible:
  • Flux Detector: Foil with enclosed nickel particles in a gelatinous suspension
  • DIALEV: Floating graphite disc to visualise diamagentism (repulsion)
  • Smart putty: Ferromagnetic putty with fascinating features - comes to life during contact with strong magnets

In addition, we offer coloured magnetic letters and numbers that are suitable for playing with children at home or in kindergarten and elementary school. You can use them for a playful introduction of letters and numbers. The products come with a magnetic sheet that adheres well to blackboards, whiteboards and magnetic paint. The children can use these magnets to make words or solve a math problem. You can choose between a set of letters or numbers.
