2 Educational Alnico Bar Magnet for Science, Education, Experiments, Students, and Teachers - North & South Identified - 11mm x 6mm x 75mm

Extremely pleased with these magnets. Well packed properly with keepers. Very helpful leaflet explaining the care of them. Worth every penny!

Magnets are very strong even though they are small. One issue is the paint chips rather quickly but otherwise its a good product to buy. Don't have any other product to compare this too, but I would recommend this to anyone wanting to buy magnets.

My 6 year old son discovered the pole markings were incorrect but other than that excellent magnets. It taught my son not to accept what manufacturers say but to prove it for yourself!

Fun and good value for money.It was only after buying these, noticing something a bit strange as to how they are marked and their effrct on a compass, plus how they behaved when suspended on a thread. I thought they were marjed incorrectly.However, with a bit of research my lifelong understanding of the Earth's magnetic field was stood on its head! The North magnetic pole is actually the Earth's South magnetic pole. So the end of the nagnet marked 'N' for North is a north magnetic pole and points North because - up there - is a South Pole. Er, I think that's right, look North Magentic Pole up in Wikipedia!Embarrasing for a trained electronics developnent technician to be that ignorant about geomagnetism . . .Just have fun.

Magnetism is what you'd expect for the size of the magnets.

These are smaller and thinner than I expected. The magnetic field is not strong, which means easily pull apart without much effort given the magnets themselves are not big. ... not that great quality, but it’s ok to do a simple compass experiment with.

Paint wears off very quickly so not great quality but toddler grandson had great fun playing with them and seeing which objects throughout the house they would stick to. I have bought a more advanced set for when he's a bit older. Quite strong magnetically.

Bought this for young learners whom I had been teaching about magnets. They absolutely loved them! Had the N & S poles on them ideal to learn which ends attract and repel.
