Explore the invisible forces of magnetism as we make objects float and move using some spooky science that can seem just like magic.
​
A series of challenges and games will allow children to explore magnetism in a safe and exciting way, while experiencing some mind boggling science.
​
Learn how magnets repel and attract, what north and south poles are and how we use magnets in everyday life.
Program details:
Run time 1hr
Experience activities:
​
-First off children get to see some of the wild and exciting ways magnetism works, from defying gravity, to stopping heavy objects dead in their tracks.
​
-The children then work in groups to complete a series of tasks and challenges that allow the children to discover magnets and their properties in an open-ended exploration, in some mind boggling ways.
From making magnets float, to moving objects without ever needing to touch them, there's so much to do with this wild side of science.
​
-Children are then encouraged to explore the magnets freely at the end of the activities, to learn more about magnets an how they interact with the world around them.

All cleaning up is done by Little Labs, and plastic table covers are supplied when required.
Protective equipment like lab coats are provided however it should be noted there is always a chance some clothing may get dirty (it’s best not to wear that Gucci top, sorry!)
Little Labs will arrive approx. 15 minutes early to set up, and we ask for 15 minutes after the session has ended to pack up.
