Dear
This experiment kit uses lots of interesting
experiments to give your child a playful
introduction to magnets and magnetism.
Please stand by your child's side during the
experiments and offer your support and
guidance. Before starting the experiments,
read through the manual together and be
sure to follow it when performing the
experiments. Please be careful not to let any
of the kit parts get into the hands of young
children. Have fun with the experiments!
Warning!
Do not bring the magnets close
to television sets, computers, computer
diskettes, music cassettes, videotapes, or
ATM or credit cards. The data stored in them
could be damaged or lost!
For the experiments, you will need one
1.5-volt AA-type battery, which could not
be included in the kit due to its limited
shelf life.
Under no circumstances are more or
different batteries to be used than what
is specified here.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be
recharged. They could explode!
Never bring batteries into contact with
other metal objects, such as key rings or
coins.
Avoid bending or distorting batteries.
Never throw batteries into flame or store
them near heat sources.
Do not use electrical outlets for any
experiments! Never insert wires or other

metal pieces into outlets! The electrical

completely disconnect the electrical or
electromagnetic circuit from the
battery and store separately.
