How Does a Steam Train Work? 🚂 Choo Choo Explained! | Science for Kids | Milo Explores

Before you shout choo choo, can you guess the 4 steps that turn fire into a moving train? 🚂 Join Milo and Nova at the railway as they guess (wrong!), look inside a steam engine with X-ray mode, play TRAIN SIGNALS, and earn 5 Explorer Stars to open the MYSTERY BOX! Kids will: • Shout answers to Milo's silly guesses • Scoop coal, bounce like boiling water, push like a piston and shout CHOO CHOO • Play TRAIN SIGNALS: green = chug fast, yellow = slow, red = stop (watch out for the green beans!) They'll learn: • Step 1: a fire burns in the firebox (the driver adds coal) • Step 2: the fire boils water in the boiler and makes steam • Step 3: steam pushes a piston, and rods turn the wheels • Step 4: used steam puffs out of the chimney: chuff chuff = choo choo! • Brain Blast: some new trains float on magnets!

Put it in your mouth past the cut part and blow hard — toot toot, like a train!
