Even as an adult, I find magnets fun to play with. The magnets and accessories in this set and included activity guide offers suggestions for science discovery as children use a magnetic wand as a magnet detector, play 30-chip pickup, learn about opposite poles attracting, go fishing with magnets, and more. In this set you get a magnetic wand and post, 2 magnetic rings, bar magnet, 2 magnetic balls, horseshoe magnet, string, and 30 color chips. Use this kit as an introduction to simple physics or along side your science curriculum for demonstration and discovery. ~ Donna
