Teatown Reflection

My favorite pat of the trip was the part where you could move the sand and it would tell you the height by show a color and each meant a height white was the tallest and light blue was below sea level and if you put your hand above the sand it would start raining. My other favorite was the model because it showed how building all these buildings can hurt the environment and it can pollute the Earth.

The first I learned was that hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, atmosphere. The second thing I learned the air temperature changes the water temperature.

You could add a activity on how we can save water and talk ways to save the fresh water because we limited amounts of it.

For the track we put 1 strip magnet on each side of the track and 1 strip magnet in the middle then had 4 disc magnets above the strip magnet in the middle and 4 bellow the strip magnet in the middle so we would have used 3 strip magnets and 8 disc magnets for the track. For our first idea for the train was to put 1 strip magnets on each side of the train and 4 disc magnets in the shape of a diamond and 1 disc magnets in the middle of that. So we used 5 disc magnets and 2 strip magnets.

Our first idea didn’t work with the disc magnets so we got red of the disc magnets,but we also got red of the strip magnet in the middle of the track so all we had left was strips on side of the track and 1 strip magnet on each side of the train,but luckily it levitated.

 

For the track we put 3 strip magnets on each side of the track so it can levitate higher with the rocks and for the train we put 1 strip magnet on each side of the train so the magnets wouldn’t have to lift a lot of weight.

I thought and felt good working with my group because we let everyone talk and share their ideas with the group and we were very successful.
