Extra Parts for Magnetism
for 3 or more children
Magnetism - Extra Parts
Recommendations for 3 children
For 3 or 4 children to have a good hands-on experience at the same time, we suggest you get a DOUBLE Magnetism Kit (see below). It's like 2 kits in one, but you save $10.
If some of the children will be doing this kit now and some will do it later, then one kit should be enough. Check the Extra Parts for Magnetism (below) to see which are consumable, because you will need to replace those items.
Recommendations for using these kits with larger groups.
Once you have one of our kits, you may find it's so much fun you'll want to use some of the lessons with more children.
Can extra parts be purchased for this purpose? Yes!
Use the Extra Parts for Magnetism (below) to order the parts for those lessons. The chart gives information on what you need for each lesson.
20% Discount for 2 or more
To make it easier to use with families and larger groups, order 2 or more of any item and you will get a 20% discount.
Below is an extra parts form. Feel free to add anything on it by filling in the quantity of anything on the list.
