Description
Thwack, Thomp, CRASH – you broke through the crust! The clock is ticking as you race with your electromagnet to gather iron and load it onto the spaceship. This is way more than just a magnet on a stick, your Pick-Up Stick was custom engineered by you with both an electromagnet and a grapple (claw) that grabs soup cans, paper clips, even candy. Made with TeacherGeek's custom aluminum wire, it’s never been easier to make your own super-powerful battery magnet.
Mining in space, hanging paperclips, sorting recyclables – free optional challenges and labs give you plenty of options to customize this activity. Activity Packs include Go Guides to get kids started and encourage innovation. Engage kids like never before as they explore circuits, magnetic materials, and electromagnet design. This activity is a real pick-me-up!
