Play N Learn The Faraday Train | Electricity & Magnetism STEM Science Kit

How can a battery move through a copper coil without wheels, a motor, or a track? With The Faraday Train by Play N Learn, children can discover the fascinating connection between electricity and magnetism through a simple hands-on experiment.

Kids attach magnets to both ends of the battery, place it inside the copper wire coil, and watch as their homemade “train” moves through the coil. It’s an engaging way to introduce electromagnetic force, circuits, energy conversion, and real-world applications of magnetism.

🔬 What Your Child Will Learn:

• How electricity and magnetism work together
• How electric current can create a magnetic field
• Basic concepts of electromagnets and closed circuits
• How magnetic attraction and repulsion can create motion
• Energy conversion from chemical energy to electrical and kinetic energy
• How similar principles are used in modern technology

🏆 Why Parents & Teachers Love It:

• Simple experiment with an exciting visible result
• Encourages curiosity, observation, and scientific thinking
• Easy to assemble with minimal components
• Great for home learning, STEM activities, science projects, and classroom demonstrations
• Introduces children to physics in a fun and memorable way
• Connects the experiment to real-life technologies such as MagLev trains, electric cars, and electric toothbrushes

📦 Kit Includes:

• 1 Copper Wire Coil
• 4 Magnets
• 1 AAA Battery

How It Works:
Stack the 4 magnets into 2 pairs and attach one pair to each end of the AAA battery with the correct magnetic orientation. Place the battery into one end of the copper coil and give it a gentle push. The interaction between the electric current and magnetic field propels the battery through the coil — creating your very own Faraday Train.

⚡ The Science Behind It:
When the battery and magnets touch the copper wire, they form a closed electrical circuit. Current flowing through the coil creates a magnetic field, turning the coil into a temporary electromagnet. The interaction between this magnetic field and the magnets attached to the battery produces the force that moves the “train” through the coil.
