DESCRIPTION
Use these fine mesh iron filings to show magnetic fields of magnets. For less mess, sprinkle iron filings into a clear plastic page protector or into a plastic petri dish. Hold the magnet underneath to see the filings form the pattern of its magnetic field.
Other experiments you can conduct using these iron metal filings include: demonstrating one of the theories about why Mars has such a red surface, making homemade hand warmers, and more!
