About This Simulation
Learn about magnets and magnetic fields in Labster's magnetism lab and use your knowledge to solve puzzles and capture an unruly rover.
Learning Objectives
- Define the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet
- Demonstrate how magnetic field lines change when two magnets interact
- Explain how the alignment of magnetic domains affects the magnetic fields of induced and permanent magnets

Learn More About This Simulation
Magnets are on your fridge, inside your computer, and maybe even in your wallet! In this simulation you will learn about magnets, the fields they create, how they react to one another, and how they arise from microscopic magnetic domains.
Levi, get back here!
Use your knowledge of magnetism to catch the playful rover Levi before he wreaks havoc in the magnetism lab. Arrange the magnets and analyze magnetic domains to create the right magnetic fields and solve the puzzles that unlock different areas of the lab. Explore all areas of the lab to become a magnetism expert!
Unlock lab rooms using magnets Every area of the magnetism lab is unlocked by a puzzle that relies on the knowledge of an aspect of magnetism. Students will test their knowledge of magnetic fields and the mutual interactions of a collection of magnets to open the different locks and find the rogue rover. They will be aided by attractive visualizations including an interactive 3D animation of the magnetic field and by engaging puzzle minigames that build knowledge incrementally, detecting and correcting common misconceptions while offering an exciting challenge to students. VIP card access
In the end, you will learn about the microscopic origin of magnetism, magnetic domains, and permanent magnets to make use of one of the many applications of magnetism in daily life: magnetic cards. Use a magneto-optic microscope to explore the microscopic structures of different magnetized cards and find the permanent magnet. Will you be able to put an end to Levi's mischief?

A Labster virtual lab is an interactive, multimedia assignment that students access right from their computers. Many Labster virtual labs prepare students for success in college by introducing foundational knowledge using multimedia visualizations that make it easier to understand complex concepts. Other Labster virtual labs prepare learners for careers in STEM labs by giving them realistic practice on lab techniques and procedures.
Labster’s virtual lab simulations are created by scientists and designed to maximize engagement and interactivity. Unlike watching a video or reading a textbook, Labster virtual labs are interactive. To make progress, students must think critically and solve a real-world problem. We believe that learning by doing makes STEM stick.
Yes, Labster is compatible with all major LMS (Learning Management Systems) including Blackboard, Canvas, D2L, Moodle, and many others. Students can access Labster like any other assignment. If your institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log into Labster’s Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide which is the best access method.
Labster is available for purchase by instructors, faculty, and administrators at education institutions. Purchasing our starter package, Labster Explorer, can be done using a credit card if you are located in the USA, Canada, or Mexico. If you are outside of North America or are choosing a higher plan, please speak with a Labster sales representative. Compare plans.
Labster supports a wide range of STEM courses at the high school, college, and university level across fields in biology, chemistry, physics, and health sciences. You can identify topics for your courses by searching our Content Catalog.
