Levitating pencil
Product Code : SCL-MK-12499
The Levitating pencil (SKU SCL-MK-12499) is a magnetism science model in which opposing magnets lift a pencil so it appears to float, with a transparent acrylic sheet steadying it. This levitating pencil model sits on a 20 x 7 x 1 cm rubber-foam base and lets students observe magnetic repulsion, balance and stability in classroom and STEM activities.
Specifications
The setup combines a rectangular rubber-foam base of 20 x 7 x 1 cm, magnetic components arranged to oppose one another, a pencil and a transparent acrylic support sheet that stabilises the demonstration without hiding it; the number and type of magnets are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the levitating pencil model
Students spin or nudge the pencil and watch it stay suspended, then discuss how like poles repel, why the acrylic sheet is needed to keep the pencil stable, and how the same idea of magnetic levitation is used in maglev trains and magnetic bearings.
- Demonstrating magnetic repulsion between like poles
- Discussing balance and stability in levitation
- Introducing magnetic levitation and maglev
- STEM activities and science exhibitions

Frequently asked questions
How does the pencil levitate?
Magnetic components are arranged so that like poles oppose each other; the repulsion lifts the pencil, while a transparent acrylic sheet keeps it steady.
What size is the base?
The rubber-foam base measures 20 x 7 x 1 cm.
Which topics does it support?
It supports lessons on magnetic attraction and repulsion, balance and stability, and introductions to magnetic levitation.
What should I send for a quotation?
