Magnetic snake
and magnetic
axle
YOU WILL NEED
→ all the ball magnets
→ block magnet
→ all the ring magnets
→ iron rod
HERE'S HOW
1. Arrange the ball magnets into a colorful
line and set them on the table.
2. By holding the block magnet a slight
distance away, you can make your
"snake" move. Alternate the ends of the
bar magnet to pull the snake or push it
away, and to make it move its "head"
(the ball at the front).
3. For the magnetic axle, stick two pairs of
ring magnets together and arrange the
pairs with their mutually repelling poles
facing each other. Insert the iron rod
through their center holes. Now pull the
pairs away from each other until they
are at the ends of the rod.
4. Now you can use the block magnet
again to move your wheeled axle.
Who can make it go the fastest?
