Basic Ferrofluid Kit Includes: 2 fluid ounce bottle of educational grade ferrofluid (FerroTec EFH1), a set of disposable gloves, 1 pipette, a set of petri dishes
EDUCATION - These ferrofluids are specifically designed for use in classrooms, schools, and museums. They feature magnetic properties that make it easier to visualize the magnetic patterns. They're also great for DIY science projects and other thought provoking science experiments. When not in use, please store away in the ferrofluid bottle sealed tight. Long exposure to air may dry the fluid and reduce it's potency to perform visual displays.
STEM LEARNING - A great alternative to kid's being glued to the television or mobile phones. This magnetic learning activity is a great way for parents or teachers to bond with their children by exploring an educational concept in the science of magnetism. The early stages in a child's development in learning is the most critical. This is the time to inspire creativity, imagination, and curiosity. Plant the seed to their future success, today. (Adult supervision is advised.)
PREPARATION - As fun as they are to experiment with, ferrofluid can get really messy! Please be mindful of what you wear and provide a protective layer over the area where you will experiment on. If you get some on your skin, please wash continuously with hand soap and stay clear of your eyes. Our educational kits comes with a few basics to help manage the mess and maximize your fun! Detailed step by step guide on how to use ferrofluid and manage the mess, below.
APPLICATIONS - EFH1 model is used for education in magnetism, visual art displays, visual music displays, visual technology displays in clocks, watches, and even ferrofluid dancing in non-permanent magnetic speakers. The endless possibilities for ferrofluid applications is only limited by your imagination. This model is not to be used as a cooling system for audio speaker systems.
