Marvelous Magnets


In this magnetic exhibit, kids can explore how magnets work through fun, hands-on activities. They might test which objects are magnetic, use magnets to move items, build with magnetic blocks, or feel the push and pull between magnets. These activities help them learn about attraction and repulsion, magnetic poles, and which materials magnets stick to—all through play and discovery.

By studying these tiny animals, children can learn about their habitats, how they help the environment, and how they have adapted to survive. Engaging with these creatures encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation for nature’s small wonders!
