Marvelous DemonstrationsReviewed By: Amy Secklin My 14 yr old daughter and I worked on this together. We thoroughly enjoyed it! There are 5 experiments followed by 5 projects, the 5th being the construction of a levitating train. Exploring the "push" between two or more magnets left us amazed at God's handiwork. The "train" required patience to assemble, and we did have to make some adjustments, but once we got things lined up right, it worked wonderfully. I would definitely recommend this kit.

Magetic Fun! This was a fun kit with a great introduction to magnetism. I liked how it explained why each experiment worked the way it did. I also liked the thinking questions that it posed when doing the projects. This is a great project kit for an older elementary or middle school student.
