Shock Wave Magnets
These are the newest of the hematite magnets! Separate the magnets slightly in your hand and gently toss them straight up for an extra terrestrial buzzing sound. As they collide and fall, they produce a screaming, clattering sound, much like a Cicada or high voltage sparking. It is amazing!What produces the sound? The polished Hematite magnets attract, and then bounce off each other repeatedly, until they finally connect. These powerful magnets demonstrate the basic properties found in all magnets, and they make an irresistible fidget toy! Hematite, known as Oxide (Fe2O3) is a naturally occurring mineral found primarily in England, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Brazil, New Zealand and the U.S. Great opportunity for students to test various theories! Great opportunity for teachers to use the words critical thinking and problem solving in front of their administrators.
