Each experiment—such as using a common refrigerator magnet to create a three-dimensional image or floating a magnet and carbon sheet in midair—is outlined with step-by-step instructions and diagrams that illustrate the key concepts of magnetism.

Good book for experiments but more for middle school age. I might be able to use a few of them, but not sure the kids will really get the explanations. Would rather do things that they can understand.

Cool book. Mystify your friends. Play with magnets. Would have loved colour pics, though!
