Product Description
The Magnetic Polarity Exploration and Sorting Set is a hands-on STEM science kit designed to introduce young learners to the basic principles of magnetism. Through guided experimentation and open-ended play, children will explore magnetic polarity, learn how magnets attract and repel, and classify objects based on magnetic properties. This Montessori-aligned material encourages scientific inquiry, fine motor coordination, and early problem-solving skills.
Key Features
- Includes U-shaped magnets, bar magnets, and assorted magnetic/non-magnetic objects
- Supports exploration of magnetic polarity—opposites attract, likes repel
- Encourages classification through sorting activities
- Promotes fine motor development and practical life application
- Ideal for Montessori science corners, homeschool STEM lessons, and early science centers

How to Use
Introduce one magnet at a time and invite the child to explore how it interacts with various objects. Guide them in observing which materials are attracted to the magnet and which are not. Use the set to demonstrate polarity by flipping the poles and observing attraction or repulsion. Encourage children to sort and classify items into magnetic and non-magnetic groups, fostering deeper understanding through active experimentation.
