Slow Falling Magnets - Indy Labs #27 (At Home DIY Science)

Indy Labs - We Put The Science In Your Hands

Fads come and go, but one fad that won't be going anywhere are magnets! (Okay...so I guess that means it's not a fad...) While we all have had fun using magnets to attract and repel, did you know that they can induce other materials to behave like magnets as well? In this episode, we explore the idea of magnetic field induction, while we witness magnets falling slower than it seems they should! With some understanding of the physics behind it, though, we'll learn how they're behaving exactly as they should!

More Static Magnetic Fun!

The Indy Labs series focuses on at home science experiments that are low cost and (usually) easy to do, but still drive the science concepts home.

Some science videos show you how to do something cool, but explain very little of it. Others explain concepts, but are very passive and give the viewer little to actually do. With Indy Labs, we put the science in your hands, teaching you concepts, but at the same time, giving you an experiment to try on your own!

If you try the lab, please leave a comment and let us know how it went Also, snap some photos of YOUR at home trials for this or any of the Indy Labs experiments, and upload them to Twitter and/or Instagram. Use #IndyLabs so we can all see your results!
