Our trains used magnets to repel so they would float above the tracks. There are magnets on the track and on the car.Once the car could float above the tracks we would give it a push and it would glide across the track. Our car had strip magnets on the track and the car.

My car didn’t work on friday. I had hoped it would work on our first try because no other class had gotten it on their first try. I also thought it would work because Mrs. Mangan said we were close. After we ran out of time I realised that the strip magnets were not lined up so it would afect the magnets from repelling instead it would stick to the sides of the track.

I liked working with Rachel because she understood what I was thinking and she didn’t argue with me so we got a lot done. I think we will get it on our second try because we know what we did wrong.
