Ferrofluid + Magnets

This set of science kit includes 2 oz educational ferrofluid, magnet and some accessories, which was assembled in order to be able to visualize a magnetic field. This set includes 2 ounces of ferrofluid, a petri dish and magnet set. A pair of gloves and a plastic dropper are also included in the set in order to minimize mess and maximize fun! The magnets included in this set are 1-1/2″ in diameter and 1/4″ in thickness.

What is Ferrofluid? In short, it is a liquid that responds to magnets and magnetic fields. Ferrofluid is an extremely fine powder, coated with a soap-like material called a surfactant, and suspended in a mineral oil liquid base. The resulting magnetic suspension is called a ferrofluid. When no magnetic field is present, ferrofluid behaves and flows like a normal liquid. However, when a magnet or magnetic field is introduced, the ferrofluid is attracted to the field. The ferrofluid aligning itself to the magnetic fields creates fun and interesting shapes and lines, letting you see what a magnetic field looks like.
