Physics/science teacher toys

[Dinomania]

I WANT SOME.

Been drooling over mini (20-40x) microscopes, neodymium magnets and hydrophobic sand.

I WANT THEM ALL.

What'd you get? I'm trying to find a few bits and pieces for my own amusement that I can tell people I simply /had/ to have before my teacher training.

Oh, I already have a Newton's Cradle...

Neodymium margets are cool

Neodymium margets are cool

Agreed, but Neodymium magnets + Ferrofluid = cooler

You can buy a jar of it from Rapid for about £7.50

One of my best friends is a Physics teacher at a private school in coventry. I'll see if i can get him to filch some cool stuff

i have 4 rare earth magnets, they are too strong as i cannot pull them off a steel sheet with my hands! i need to use pliers or mole grips, you need to be very careful with them but they are fun

 

[Dinomania]

Oooo, ferrofluid...

 

[Dano]

Agreed, but Neodymium magnets + Ferrofluid = cooler

You can buy a jar of it from Rapid for about £7.50

It's only 10ml though, I want at least a pint

Anybody not seen the video pictures of the guy with two large magnets which pulled together from 6 foot apart and flattened his hand?
