Science Magnet for Kids Bar Magnet Small with North South Identified for Students Teachers Science Experiment Physics Education Toys 2Pcs

I use these for installing magnets into projects to keep track of magnet polarization!

This was small for high school students hands, but their size was okay. I had them sort iron fillings from a mixture using the magnets. They worked, my students liked the 2 colored ends, and tge lab was a success.

My son asked for these for his birthday, but when they arrived, his mother and I were disappointed in their size, their strength (or lack thereof), and their finish. Some of the images in the ad gave us the impression that they were magnets like we were familiar with from our own childhood, but that is definitely not the case. They are barely strong enough to stick to each other, and I seriously doubt that they will serve the purpose he wanted them for. I had intended to use them for a science lesson about magnetic lines of flux, but the lesson is actually going to be about marketing and advertising.

I bought these for a little school experiment for my son. To start off they are a lot smaller than they look. The magnets are pretty weak and came from China originally. The blue and paint immediately started flaking off, paint flakes containing lead was definitely a concern for me. I gave it 2 stars because it got the job done (for a 2nd grade extra credit assignment) but went into the trash right when we were done. Don't buy these if you're looking for quality magnets children can actually touch. *Update: After my initial review the company reached out to me within 24 hours wanting to make it right. They offered several different solutions. After I responded to their email, I received a response within 1 hour. I will say that this company has awesome customer service and were extremely apologetic I wasn't happy with the product I received and really did just want to make it right (perhaps it could have just been a defective item as things DO happen). I'm updating my original 2 stars to 4 stars based on the experience I had dealing with the company.

It got the job done, but the magnets are super weak. We bought for a school project so it wasn’t critical to be strong. No sharp edges though, and it was easy enough to use.

The poles were labeled N,S, making them a valuable teaching tool.

Easy to use for any child.

VERY, VERY weak magnets. They hardly stick together and can even slip off the steel desk drawers. Not saying that they are useless, as you can check polarity with them, just seem to scream cheap to me.

Value for money

Grandson loved it just what he wanted very strong

Very small Came broken on two pieces

Great for magnetic field labs.

En la parte positiva, la rapidez del envío, en la parte negativa, es bastante más pequeño de lo que parece (pone: 18 cm., miden escasos 5cm cada uno por 9mm de ancho). Es poco potente (por ejemplo, no se pega en la nevera). Primer día de clase de ciencias durante la cuarentena: A mi hija le ha caído uno al suelo y se ha roto una esquina. Segundo día de clase de ciencias: el imán se parte por la mitad. Nada recomendable.
