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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces magnetism in a hands-on, engaging format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes scientific inquiry and exploration through trial and error.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhances fine motor skills and observation through lifting and sorting activities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforces understanding of poles, magnetic attraction and repulsion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in a œmagnetic\/non-magnetic material sorting station.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with iron filings to explore magnetic field patterns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncorporate into STEM building activities involving magnetic force.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a œmagnet hunt where children test classroom objects for magnetic properties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in demonstrations showing polarity and magnetic strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 23 cm horseshoe magnet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift capacity: Up to 1.8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures: Easy-grip handle, clearly marked poles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: Assorted (colour selection cannot be guaranteed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for: Ages 6+ years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Durable high-strength plastic casing with internal magnet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238443061361,"sku":"FD00001","price":22.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/fd00001_giant-horseshoe-magnet-20cm-assorted-colours_v1_2.webp?v=1760001093","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/giant-horseshoe-magnet-assorted-colours-20-cm","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
