Horseshoe magnets for classic physics experiments

When the magnetic field and its impact comes up in the physics curriculum, horseshoe magnets and rod magnets made of AlNiCo are important learning tools. Teachers can purchase these magnets for school in various designs from our online shop. They are typically painted in red and green to mark the north and south pole. They consist of aluminium, nickel, cobalt and iron, making them less brittle and more heat-resistant and therefore less prone to breaking. 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 easier to understand for the students.

Tip: You can use the colours to easily distinguish between the north and south poles: the north pole in red is at the top and the south pole in green is at the bottom, similar to traffic lights.

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.

Teaching aids for magnet experiments at school

If you would like to explain the phenomenon of magnetism to your students, special teaching aids come in handy. You can use iron filing or flux detectors, for instance, to demonstrate magnetic fields of horseshoe magnets 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 tools for teachers to make magnetism understandable and visible:

Flux Detector: Foil with enclosed nickel particles in a gelatinous suspension
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.
