Iron Filings Case - 9.5 x 7cm

This compact and mess-free Iron Filings Case is a hands-on educational tool designed to demonstrate the fundamental properties of magnetism. The sealed plastic case safely contains a layer of fine iron filings, allowing students to observe magnetic fields in action when placed near or over magnets. With its clear plastic window, the case provides excellent visibility for viewing how iron particles respond to magnetic force, making it an ideal resource for interactive science lessons. The durable construction ensures long-term classroom use, and the sealed design prevents spills or loss of material, offering a tidy and reliable experience every time. Whether used individually or as part of a larger magnetism investigation, this simple yet effective tool makes abstract scientific concepts easy to grasp for young learners.

Educational Benefits:

• Encourages hands-on exploration of magnetic attraction and field patterns.
• Visually reinforces key scientific principles related to magnetism and forces.
• Helps develop observation and prediction skills through simple experiments.
