Explore magnetism in a practical and surprising way

The Magnetic Discovery Learning Board is a STEM resource designed to introduce children to the world of magnets in a visual, practical, and engaging way.

Suitable for children aged 3 and up, this board brings together 4 different components that allow them to observe and experiment with basic magnetic phenomena. Children can test objects to see if they are magnetic, explore attraction and repulsion between magnets, use a compass to understand magnetic north, and create shapes with iron filings. All of this transforms learning into an active discovery experience.

A simple introduction to science and observation

This resource helps to spark scientific curiosity from an early age. By manipulating the different elements, children begin to understand that magnetism is part of the real world and can be observed in a concrete way. The experience with the compass also introduces the idea that the Earth functions as a large magnet, making the activity even richer in educational context.

At the same time, using the pieces requires observation, coordination, and attention to detail. It is an activity that combines sensory exploration, reasoning, and experimentation, ideal for initial contact with scientific concepts.
