What you get
Mighty Magnet Magnetic Racer, by 4M Kidz Labs - Fun Science Products. Colours vary and will be picked at random for your order.
How does it work
There is a magnet embedded inside the racer. When the mini mighty magnet is placed near the racer, it will attract the racer or pushes it away depending on the poles. Magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Opposite poles attract and same poles repel. Magnetic force also works through a solid, so the racer can still be controlled by the mighty magnet placed under the table-top.

The principle of magnetism is used to propel special trains that can travel at speeds over 500 km per hour. These trains are known as magnetic levitation trains, usually known as maglev trains. Maglev trains are used in many countries, such as Germany, Japan and China.
