Hang a magnet inside a soda bottle and bounce light off a tiny mirror to watch the dot drift when a solar storm hits.
Turn a cork and two magnets into a spinning electric motor powered by a single battery.
Spread a white sheet outside, sweep up the dust with a magnet, and find tiny space rocks under a microscope.
Float a foam-core platform above a magnetic track and watch it glide end to end with a gentle push.
Wrap copper wire around steel bars at three different counts and connect a battery. Weigh the iron filings each one picks up.
Build a wave tank with a floating generator and discover how wave height and speed affect the voltage.
Sweep a magnet through roof gutter water, rinse outdoor leaves, and collect rain to find tiny rock fragments from outer space under a microscope.
Touch a wire to a battery near a compass and watch the needle swing as electricity creates a magnetic field.
Place magnets above and below radish seedlings and measure whether the stems bend toward the magnet as they grow.
Drop steel fibers into a bottle of baby oil and hold a magnet to the glass to see magnetic field lines in 3D.
Roll one steel ball toward a row of magnets and watch the last ball shoot off at high speed.
Hang paper clips from a magnet through cardboard, then slide different materials into the gap to find which ones block the pull.
Map the invisible field around a bar magnet with a compass and find the dead zones where fields cancel.
