"Electromagnetic Train" - Easy and super fun science experiment for kids. My boy (G.5) has a science fair in early Feb., and over the X-mas holidays, we spent some time searching/prepping what he wants/can do for his project.

The materials needed are: - neodymium magnets (We got N42 strength magnets, the strongest are N53 I think. R

Blink and you'll miss it. Japan’s state-of-the-art maglev train has set a world speed record in a test run near Mount Fuji, clocking more than 600km/h (373mph).
