Magnet Cars Activity Kit

Investigate how distance, force, and interference impact the way magnets work.

• Includes materials for 15 student groups and instructions
• Grades 3–6

Students assemble and decorate their own cars fitted with magnets and investigate how these magnets attract and repel. Next, create an in-classroom crash course for the finished cars and watch cars stick together or bounce apart, depending on the orientation of the magnets.
