AOMAG Kids Magnets Classroom Science Kit – Bar, Horseshoe, Ring Magnets + Compass

Engaging Magnet Science for Curious Minds

Turn curiosity into hands-on discovery with the AOMAG Magnets for Kids kit. This set combines top quality rare earth ceramic magnets with iron filings and iron powder to visualize invisible forces, all designed for safe, repeated classroom use. The tactile feel of metal, the clinks of magnets snapping into place, and the subtle shimmer of filings on paper create a multisensory learning moment that invites questions and exploration.

Whether used in a science center, a guided demonstration, or independent challenges, the activities encourage observation, experimentation, and thoughtful inquiry. The included English manual offers clear steps to structure inquiries while keeping the experience flexible and student-led, so learners can pursue their own discoveries at their own pace.

What’s included in the kit

• 1x horseshoe magnet (2.36 inches) for a classic magnetic pull
• 2x bar magnets (3.93 inches) to compare shapes and strengths
• 2x ring magnets (1.18 inches) to study small-scale fields
• 1x compass to connect magnetism with direction
• 1x wooden stick for safe handling and experimental setups
• Iron filings pieces for field visualization
• Iron powder for additional texture and demonstrations
• Double-sided stickers with butterflies to add a playful element

Hands-on activities and learning moments

• Test what objects are attracted or repelled to discover everyday materials that respond to magnets
• Observe magnetic fields by arranging iron filings and noting line patterns around different magnets
• Use the compass to explore how magnetism interacts with direction in space
• Encourage students to pose questions, record observations, and compare results across attempts

Why this kit supports STEM learning

The set places emphasis on inquiry, measurement, and critical thinking, aligning with core STEM goals. It’s well suited for classroom centers, science fairs, or home experimentation, enabling learners to connect theory with tangible phenomena without overpromising outcomes.

Safety and guidance

All components are designed for classroom-friendly handling and come with an English manual for straightforward guidance. Supervision is advised for younger children to ensure safe use of small parts.
