Artec SPC Metal Detector

Artec Metal Detector is a kit for easy and fun assembly of a metal detector. This is a great beginner kit for students and children to learn about magnetism and how metal detectors work.

Usage Guidelines

The metal detector works off of the concept of magnetic fields: when there is metal near the detector, the magnet field is affected and the detector senses these changes, which you can tell by the buzzer sound and indicator light. This kit is for educational purposes only; the metal detector will not detect metal objects that are small, or buried deeply in the ground.

Features

• Create a real metal detector by using simple materials.
• Learn about the science of magnetic fields.
• Great illustrated, interactive, and informative study guide included in kit.
• Great for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related curriculum.
