Magnetic Magic

Materials: House hold oil, magnetic ink, pan or bowl, stirring tool, earth magnet


Step 1: Pour the oil into the pan


Step 2: Pour the ink into the oil
(make sure the amount of oil and ink is equal)



Step 3: Mix the solution together until it is thick.
Step 4: Place the magnet underneath the pan. See the shape change.



This is a closer look to show the magnetic solution turn into a solid caused by the magnetic fields in the magnet.



The shape of the solution can change by the movement of the magnet.


Here is a video that shows the magnetic solution working.
