Maglev Blog Post #2

dluciano Science , ,

We have finished our second day of designing, planning, and creating our Maglev Transportation System. Your group worked really hard to reflect over what you did that worked and didn’t work on Day 1, and then use that information and your knowledge of magnets and trains to reimagine, redesign, plan again and recreate a better Maglev Transportation System that would safely and efficiently travel across a track without any problems. In your Google Drive in your SCIENCE folder, you will create a Blog Post #2.

Here is the Blog Post Requirements:

Paragraph #1:

  • What did you do today that worked? Be specific.
    • Type of magnets
    • Placement of magnets

Paragraph #2:

  • What did you do today that failed?
  • What did you learn from your failure?
  • What changes did you make because of your failure?

Paragraph #3:

  • Talk about your goals for the next design session.

 

Be sure to check over your work in your Google Drive BEFORE you post it to your blog.  Look for:

  • Proper capitalization and punctuation
  • Correct spelling and grammar
  • That you answered each question in FULL sentences
  • Your writing reflects your work throughout Day 2 of the Planning, Designing and Creating stages of the Engineering Design Process (EDP)
  • You have used the Engineering Design Process and Magnetism Vocabulary provided for you
