Maglev Trains day -3

On day 3 it was a hard day like all of the days because we still could not get the foam train passed the manila track both ways but we are so so close. And I was really frustrated. we made sure it was all repelling but something was wrong and it was attracting so we could not get the foam train to move both ways. We cut of the magnets we moved the magnets we retaped the magnets and a whole lot more of hard work. There was lot’s of challenges like arguments and it is so hard to be in a group because of the arguments with your group because you do not always get to do your ideas that you want because your group has other ideas. We had some successes like we got the train to move one side at least it is better than the train not moving any ways. And we got the train to levitate a little but you have top get your train to levitate a lot for your train to move. We had to move the magnets because they were hanging of the edges and if your magnets are hanging of the edge of the manila folder or the foam train. We had to cut the magnets so it would fit on the foam train or manila folder. I’m not sure what to do today I have no idea what changes my group should do I think we got it all right but something is wrong with the train or the track. we have other classmates to help us so it could be easier and we could hopefully get are train passed the manila folder both ways and after that you put marbles on your train to see how many marbles you can get passed the manila folder it sounds very hard and hopefully later today we can get the train passed the folder and try to get marbles passed the manila folder on our train it will be fun. Here are some pictures from day 3.
