## Features

- 546 ASSORTED PIECES –This K’NEX Education set includes 546 parts, plus a battery-powered motor, for a single child or a team of two to three children building a working roller coaster. Two additional models are also included in this set — a ramp and a half-pipe — which can be built one at a time. The set requires two AA batteries, which are not included.
- OFFERS HANDS-ON LEARNING – K’NEX Education models offer proactive opportunities for introducing children to scientific inquiry, investigation, and experimentation. Inquiry-based lessons challenge young learners as they build, investigate, problem-solve, discuss, and evaluate scientific and design principles in action.
- EXPERIMENT GUIDE – Once a ride is built, an activity booklet guides learners through three hands-on, inquiry-based experiments. This experiment guide aligns with the national STEM standards and is designed for grades 5‒9. Students will learn about the relationships between time, distance, speed, and more!
- PROMOTES TEAMWORK – This educational engineering set is more fun when constructed with friends. One to three kids can put their heads together and figure out the structure, exchanging ideas as they tinker with the bits and parts, and solving the model faster through teamwork. They’ll build camaraderie and develop social skills as they play.
- STEAMagination: It’s the connection of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math) with a child’s natural curiosity and creativity and it powers the fun of each and every K’NEX building set. Building with K’NEX puts children on a path towards a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects.
- LESSON PLANS AND EXPERIMENTS: All K’NEX Education sets come with either a comprehensive guide for teachers or an experiment guide for student-led learning. All lesson plans and experiment guides are written by expert educators and feature hands-on, inquiry-based projects that engage students in today’s busy classroom.
- ALIGNED TO NATIONAL STANDARDS: K’NEX Education teacher guides and experiment guides are aligned to national educational standards, including ITEEA, NSES, NCTM, NGSS and Common Core.
- REAL WORLD LEARNING: Study after study reveals that students have more success learning STEM subjects through activities related to the real world rather than reading about abstract concepts in textbooks. K’NEX Education sets allow students to build replicas of real-world machines and contraptions and through the lesson plans and experiments, gain a concrete understanding of the principles that make them work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can 2 or more be put together to make 1 huge roller coaster?**
A: yes they can

**Q: Does this come with the cars?**
A: Hi ReDxSiLLy,  The K'NEX STEM Explorations Roller Coaster set comes with 1 coaster car.

**Q: Can we dispense with calling everything steam? i can play with a rock with a kid and get science, technology, engineering, art, and math out of it.**
A: Hello there. Congratulations on educating the next generation with rocks. I agree and believe whole heartedly that many lessons can be taught with gravel. Point of fact, I taught my son about gravity with the help of a rock. First Newtonian gravity by dropping the rock, then basic relativity by stretching a piece of cling wrap over a mixing bowl, placing the rock in the center, and rolling marbles around the rock, demonstrating orbital physics. Granted, the latter demonstration required additional props, but replicating the fabric of space/time with a flexible stretchy rock seemed difficult. 

To answer your question, however, "Can we dispense with calling everything steam?" you may discontinue the use of the word steam to describe all nouns and verbs at any time. In fact, I encourage it. It seems a rather confusing practice to me anyway, not unlike Squanchy in my humble opinion. I prefer to reserve the term for discussion in reference only to water in its vapour form and on rare occasion to Victorian and Industrial inspired douchebaggary, but only when preceding the word punk. I leave it to you to use the word as you wish. I hope this answers your question.

**Q: How do you build the chain? I can’t make the links stay together long enough to add it to the mechanism.**
A: Hi there, the chain links should snap together.  On page 4 of your instruction booklet it shows you a visual of the direction they would face, then snap them together (plastic hooks onto round rod on chain link - they snap together) - then they should stick together nicely and provide a stable chain link for your coaster).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hours of fun.

Very Durable. I bought it about 3 years ago and my Grand son still plays with it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love
*by T***A on February 4, 2026*

My grandson love

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Son loved it but it doesn’t actually do what it’s supposed to
*by S***A on May 22, 2025*

I got this for my 7 year old who loves building anything. The instructions were good and he only needed help with a few areas. It took about two sessions to build this set as there are many steps and lots of pieces. Like others have said, the actual rolled coaster gets stuck and does not have enough inertia to actually make the loop at the bottom. We had adjusted some pieces to make it work. It’s just not something you want to run into after working on building it for so long but we made it work.
