A wrist splint is a brace that looks like a fingerless glove. It stabilizes your wrist in a straight and sometimes slightly bent-back position. Wearing a wrist splint minimizes pressure on the median nerve and allows you a period of relative rest from movements that make carpal tunnel syndrome worse. Think about these guidelines when you use a wrist splint:
Remove the item from the freezer, and lay it on a firm surface with the dome-shaped knob on the magnetic tag facing up. Stack the two magnets on top of one another, and hold them against the dome on the surface of the security tag. Use your hand to pull the pin underneath out, and remove the tag from your purchase.
1. Place a bar magnet in a holder. You can make a simple magnet holder using a clothespin and a paper or Styrofoam cup. Tape one of the long ends of a clothespin to the bottom of the cup, place the cup on the table upside down, and then insert the magnet into the clothespin. You can also use the gaussmeter sensor to test the field strength at varying distances from the magnet. 2  Place the sensor at a series of defined distances from the magnet's pole and record the results. 3  This method would be suitable for teaching middle school and high school age students about magnetic fields.
