For our maglev day 2 we used magnets to make our maglev train levitate. For the maglev train we used 6 strip magnets, 3 short strip magnets and 3 long strip magnets. Finally our maglev train levitated. It was good that I learned the properties of magnets because if I did not know that north and north repel then I would have not be able to make the train levitate.
What failed for our group was that it was tipping over. Our solution to our problem was that on our first try we did not put the magnets closer to the edge. So then we tried putting our magnets closer to the edge and our maglev train levitated.
I learned from the EDP. Is that you can’t blame the magnets. Even though you think it’s the magnet that your train is not levitating it is really you that messed up. It was hard to be in a group because you have to let other people share their ideas so you can’t just have your idea and do it. The group has to decide which idea you want to use first.
