Australian Geographic Physics Lab

Australian Geographic Physics Lab: Explore Invisible Forces with 14 Experiments, Ages 10+

Float a ball on a stream of air, bend running water with static electricity and watch a magnetic train levitate above its track. The Australian Geographic Physics Lab brings forces you cannot see into experiments you can watch, try and investigate. With 14 hands-on activities, it gives curious kids a practical introduction to magnetism, static electricity and air pressure.

What's Inside the Physics Lab Experience

The kit features 14 experiments, with easy-to-follow instructions and safety guidance. Activities include:

• A suspended ball and air pressure experiments
• A straw plane
• A DIY electroscope and an electrostatic bulb
• Magnetic racing and a maglev train
• A DIY compass and a magnetic gyroscope

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• Make invisible forces visible: investigate how air, static electricity and magnets affect the objects around them.
• Discover the science behind surprising effects: explore a floating ball, bending water and a levitating magnetic train.
• Build and investigate: try making a compass and an electroscope rather than simply reading about them.
• Explore from different angles: 14 activities offer a varied introduction to three key areas of physics.
• Turn “how does that work?” into a starting point: use each experiment as a reason to observe closely and ask more questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is the Physics Lab suitable for?

It is recommended for children aged 10 and over, with adult supervision recommended. It is not suitable for children under 3 years because it contains small parts.

How many experiments are included?

The lab features 14 hands-on experiments covering magnetism, static electricity and air pressure.

What can children build or investigate?

Activities include a DIY compass, a DIY electroscope, a straw plane, magnetic racing, a maglev train, a magnetic gyroscope, an electrostatic bulb and air pressure experiments, among others.

Does it include a magnetic levitation activity?

Yes. The maglev train activity explores a magnetic train levitating above its track.

What does the static electricity activity demonstrate?

One experiment explores how static electricity can bend running water. The lab also features a DIY electroscope and an electrostatic bulb activity.

Are instructions included?

Yes. Easy-to-follow instructions and safety guidance are included throughout the activities.

Who would enjoy this as a gift?

It is a good match for a curious child aged 10 or over who enjoys building, experimenting and finding out how things work, with an adult available to supervise.
