Students could also draw different maze layouts and use different sized bottles to create a range of puzzle products! Alternatively, students could compete with their friends to see who can complete the maze the fastest by timing themselves with stopwatches.

If an element, such as iron, has unpaired electrons that spin in the same direction, they have no opposing magnetic fields to cancel their own magnetic fields and they create the invisible force called magnetism. By the end of this exercise students will have an understanding of what makes a material magnetic, they will be able to give examples of magnetic and non-magnetic materials and they will be able to make a maze game using a bottle and a magnet. Learners will draw a maze layout on a plastic bottle and use a magnet to guide objects, such as a 1p coin, around the maze. This is a fun STEM challenge that will teach students about how magnets attract certain materials and will show them how to apply this knowledge in an engaging and practical way. Sunken Storage Compartment: The sunken storage compartment is designed to prevent small beads from rolling away. It securely holds the beads, preventing them from scattering. Innovative Multiple Difficulty Levels: Toys with multiple difficulty levels never lose their value. Simple gameplay involves guiding the beads through the maze with the magnetic wand. Advanced gameplay features more complex and challenging maze routes. The magnetic wand must navigate accurately through obstacles, helping children develop hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills.This hands-on experiment not only deepens your understanding of magnetic forces but also nurtures artistic expression, fine motor skills, and innovative thinking. Matter (anything that has mass and takes up space) is made of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms have negatively charged electrons that spin around them and this tiny movement of an electron around its nucleus is enough to create a small magnetic field. In this hands-on experiment, you will unravel the intricate relationship between electric currents and magnetic fields, witnessing the transformative power of electromagnetism. Engineers need to know the properties of magnets, which materials are magnetic and which materials are non-magnetic. This knowledge could be used when identifying and creating potential solutions to future engineering problems.

Prepare to witness the captivating powers of magnetism as you explore the extraordinary ability to lift objects using a magnet and a clear canister. 16. Make an Electromagnet The word ‘magnet’ comes from part of Ancient Greece called Magnesia, where a magnetic iron ore was mined. Kids need to navigate the maze to move the coloured balls through it. This activity has multiple educational benefits Firstly, it promotes recognition of colour, shape, and animals. Children exercise their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination while playing with this exciting magnetic maze. This hands-on experiment not only deepens your understanding of magnetic forces but also offers a unique opportunity to explore the potential benefits of magnetized water. 14. Magnet Trampoline This activity could be completed as individuals or in small groups depending on the equipment that is available.The activity sheet includes teacher notes, guidance, useful web links, and links (where appropriate) to the national curriculum in each of the four devolved UK nations; England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Educational Wooden Activity Board: This magnetic maze Montessori toy is perfect for children aged 3 and above. It offers a hands-on, screen-free gaming experience. By using the included magnetic wand, children can slide on the acrylic surface to complete color and number-matching games. Note: Keeping the wand vertical enhances usability.
