What’s in the pack
Teacher’s guide
Free theory, problem sets, classroom activities, and quantitative experiments for high-school and undergraduate teachers. Read it online or download the PDF.
45-minute lesson plan
A 45-minute outline with objectives, warm-up, demo, discussion, and classroom kit guidance.
Prep ~15 minutes; class 30-45 minutes
Five class experiments
Ready-to-run classroom and science-fair experiments for superconductivity and magnetism, listed below.
Five experiments you can run this term.
Start with the perfect-metal experiment, then move into Meissner, pinning force, resistance, or a permanent-magnet maglev when liquid nitrogen is not an option.
Is a superconductor a perfect metal?
Drop a coin, then a cooled superconductor, over magnets. Repulsion, locking, and an advanced field-cooled vs zero-field-cooled comparison.
Class time: 30-40 minutes
Meissner or flux pinning?
Qualitative steps that separate Meissner repulsion from flux pinning, plus a path to force numbers.
High-school advanced physics and undergraduate labs
Flux-pinning force method
A science-fair method with variables, field cooling, repeated force readings, and error bars.
Measuring superconductivity
Why 4-wire beats 2-wire, what an R-T curve should look like, and how to catch common pitfalls.
Maglev science project (no LN2)
Build a permanent-magnet train for an ordinary classroom when liquid nitrogen is not an option.
Who it’s for
High school and undergraduate physics teachers, science-fair coaches, and homeschoolers. It drops into a magnetism or electricity unit; you don’t need a separate course.
What teachers ask about the pack.
Is it free? Do I need a kit?
What equipment do the experiments need?
What about liquid nitrogen safety?
Get the pack, then decide about a kit.
Sign up and we’ll email the classroom pack after you confirm your address. If you also need a kit for your school, you can request a quote for a department order.
