Description
The sets with extra strong magnets in the Pro-L rods mean you can enjoy building XL modular structures. The silver rods and transparent
panels give Geomag Pro-L a high-tech futuristic look.
Geomag products qualify in the STEM category (acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), which indicates an interdisciplinary approach to learning
– Mechanical and magnetic construction system
– Discover chain reactions
– Swiss Made quality guarantee.
– the Geomag lines help children of all ages to develop their imagination and curiosity through the Science of magnetic
construction
What our testers said
“These are so strong and cool!”- Boy aged 8
“A cube has 6 faces and 8 vertices (corners).” – Girl aged 10
What our experts think
Geomag proved a great hit with our testers who kept on returning to it! They loved getting creative with the rods and balls and built a range of structures. Children enjoyed developing their understanding of the scientific concept of magnetism – there was lots of discussion as to why the ends attracted and repelled, complimenting children’s curriculum learning in a fun and practical way.
Some of our testers used their investigative skills to join the magnets with other magnetic materials – one of them even used the magnets to move objects without touching them! This kind of scientific investigation really promotes imagination and creativity, as well as the concept itself. This is also a good toy for reinforcing the properties of 2D and 3D shapes taught in Key Stages 1 and 2. The children could build shapes, name them and talk about the various properties – there were lots of opportunities for extending children’s use of mathematical vocabulary.
