My Science Book of Magnets

Part of a series of photographic activity books, this book includes projects on magnets that aim to teach children the basic scientific concepts, encouraging them to take on new ideas and find out information for themselves. Each book introduces a basic topic, in this case magnets and magnetism, through projects that can be carried out at home using everyday items. Tricks and puzzles, and toys and models to make are also included.
