Maglev Reflection – Day 1

In our science unit we’ve been studying about magnets and transportation engineers. We are trying to make our own maglev trains. We planned how to make the Maglev trains by drawing pictures and listing the materials we were going to use. The hard part is that sometimes it doesn’t work but we keep on trying. The first materials we used were: bar magnets, the track, the box and the square foam (train).  We failed the first time because the bar magnets were too weak and the train was resting on the bar magnets, also the magnets were attracting. The next materials we used were: ring magnets, the track, and the square foam. That didn’t work also because it was also resting on the ring magnets and we forgot to check if the side they were laying down on were north or south. Today we’re probably going to use the disc magnets because that’s the only one that is strong.

My Expert Book Reflection

We wrote expert books in 3rd grade. It was really fun doing the project because I can write about something I like. It was a little hard writing the book because sometimes when you think you’re done you always have to add more stuff to your book. The fun thing I like about writing this book is that you could add pictures and videos to your book. I wrote a lot of google slides and this is the best one I wrote. In this book you will learn about a lot of things in swimming.You will learn about rules, how to breathe and diving. I hope you like my book!
