This Is What Happens When Electricity Meets A Magnet

This Is What Happens When Electricity Meets A Magnet

Ever wonder what makes motors work? This hands-on experiment reveals the magic behind the spinning toys and gadgets kids use every day. Using just a battery, magnet, screw, and wire, you'll build a real working motor from scratch and watch electricity and magnetism create motion right before your eyes.

It's the perfect project for curious kids who love seeing how things actually work. This simple setup delivers a big learning moment—and that satisfying "I made that?" feeling when the screw starts spinning. Great for parents and teachers looking to make science tangible and exciting. Adult supervision is recommended since the wire can get warm during the experiment.
