Giant Horseshoe Magnet - 20cm - Assorted Colours

The Giant Horseshoe Magnet is a high-powered, hands-on tool designed to bring the principles of magnetism to life for young learners. With an easy-grip handle and vibrant assorted colours, this 23 cm magnet is an engaging way for children to explore magnetic forces, attraction and repulsion, and the concept of polarity. The clearly marked north and south poles help learners identify magnetic field orientation, while the magnet's strength-able to lift up to 1.8 kg-makes demonstrations and experiments especially impactful.

Its child-friendly size and ergonomic grip make it ideal for little hands to use safely and comfortably. Whether working independently, in pairs or small groups, students will love experimenting with materials to determine which are magnetic, or challenging themselves with lifting activities. This open-ended learning tool supports early inquiry, problem solving, and exploration of real-world science concepts.

Educational Benefits:

• Introduces magnetism in a hands-on, engaging format.
