4M - Kidzlabs - Antigravity Magnetic Levitation

Make Objects Float in Mid-Air — A Mind-Bending Magnetic Science Kit

The 4M KidzLabs Antigravity Magnetic Levitation Kit lets kids explore the invisible forces of magnetism through hands-on experiments that genuinely look like magic. Float a pencil, levitate a screw, build a working maglev track — all using the power of magnetic repulsion. It's a brilliant introduction to physics that kids can see, touch, and repeat.

What's Inside the Kit

• Super magnets and magnetic components
• Materials for multiple levitation experiments
• Detailed step-by-step instruction guide
• All specialised parts included

Experiments Kids Can Do

• Float a pencil using magnetic repulsion
• Levitate a screw in mid-air
• Build a maglev track — the same technology used in high-speed trains
• Plus more experiments exploring magnetic force and antigravity effects

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• Genuinely looks like magic: Watching objects float never gets old — kids want to show everyone
• Real physics concepts: Introduces magnetic poles, repulsion, and the science behind maglev technology
• Multiple experiments: Enough variety to keep kids engaged across multiple sessions
• Award-winning kit: 2013 Creative Child Awards Product of the Year
• No batteries required: Pure magnetic science — no electronics needed

Good to Know Before You Buy

• Age: Recommended for ages 8+; strong magnets require adult supervision around younger children
• Adult involvement: Low for older kids — instructions are clear enough for independent exploration
• Magnet safety: Keep strong magnets away from electronic devices, credit cards, and children under 6
• No batteries required
• Replay value: High — kids revisit the experiments repeatedly and enjoy demonstrating them to others

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the levitation actually work?

The kit uses magnetic repulsion — when two magnets with the same pole face each other, they push apart. By carefully arranging magnets, kids can make objects appear to float. It's real physics, not a trick.

Are the magnets strong? Are they safe?

The kit includes strong magnets, which is what makes the levitation effects possible. Adult supervision is recommended, particularly around younger children. Keep magnets away from electronic devices, pacemakers, and credit cards.

What is a maglev and why does it matter?

Maglev (magnetic levitation) is the technology used in some of the world's fastest trains — they float above the track using magnetic repulsion, eliminating friction. This kit lets kids build a miniature version and understand the real-world science behind it.

How many experiments are included?

The kit includes several experiments covering different aspects of magnetic levitation and force. The instruction guide walks through each one step by step.

What age is it really suited for?

Recommended for ages 8+. Kids aged 8–12 get the most from it — old enough to handle the magnets safely and understand the physics concepts, young enough to find the floating effects genuinely exciting.
