Are these experiments the same ones as in the Magnetism &amp; Electricity kit by Thames &amp; Kosmos?

No, they are different... this one covers electronics (circuits that perform simple functions) and Magnetism kit covers electromagnetism, magnets, electricity. There is maybe some crossover of course, as the topics are closely related.

They very much look alike...but they do not work. Miney lost, although they were offers as identical replacement. I will have to change the whole system...the I lost time and i am not satisfied. jplallier@sympatico.ca

The units are indeed identical. The new model has the newer energy guide requiremts

Hey Joan, this would probably not be as good as the test tube kit. It has easier experiments and they are more tactile (5 year olds love to feel and see) it makes snow, grows matter, etc. This physics one was a little more advanced on it's demonstrations.

No. The PowerWheel is a tool for the instruction of energy and physics. Check www.rb-mfg.com for additional information.

There are no magnets, but I think the question refers to the carbon brushes. The ones in this kit are square in cross section.

I wondered the same thing when i ordered it , and yes there are all magnetized. They are worth the money !!!

They are very similar. As far as I can tell, they are the same size and mostly the same colors. We've had them for one day and every piece is compatible with Magna Tiles. We have Magna Tiles and Metro Mags and they work just fine together.

Yes! My son used it for a science project that measured the amount of electricity fruit generated and it worked wonderfully.

Hi Karen. They aren't unterchangeable.They are diferent. But I am enjoying very much the machine.

They do appear to be the same after comparing the two via the intermatic site with just a change in designation. Probably best to call them on Monday. I have conversed before with the technical dept. and the gentleman I conversed with was informative.

Hi, I recall that this is a book of experiments. Materials are not included. "Step-by-step 3D directions and the use of everyday materials brings clarity to how things work"

Hi, no, it gives an explanation. My son are I are using it for homeschooling and when we did experiments on air pressure for example it explained about Bernoulli's Principle and how it all works. We really like the set.

I can't say definitively, because I haven't actually tried them but I have seen our friends who have the actual magnatiles, and I can't tell a difference visually, so my answer would be yes but with the caveat that I haven't actually tried them myself.

Yes it appears to be the same.I haven't used it yet since I have only done slides so far.

Yes. My son has repeated several of the experiments to help himself gain more thorough understanding of how it works.

this is the same ? i had.. watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF6vMQ8lpsI
