Maglev Reflection – Day 1

In science our class is learning about maglev trains. We tried a lot of times and it worked one time and the other time it didn’t work. The one that didn’t work was our strip magnet didn’t repel and they attracked but maglev trains have to levitate and in order to levitate it needs to repel. We learned that we should turn the magnets over so they could levitate.

Materials I used:

  • Strip Magnet [you need 9 of those]
  • Foam Board [you need 1 of those]
  • Box [you need 1 of those]
  • Minila Folder [you need 1 of those]
  • Tape [you need one roll of the tape]

My Expert Book Reflection

I Wrote my expert book about bat/bar mitzvahs. The whole class wrote expert books too. I picked this topic because I know a lot about bat/bar mitzvahs. We all wrote about things that we know a lot about. In the begining all we had was a piece of paper and a pencil and we had to think about a topic and brainstorm about your topic. Then we had to do more and more drafts and then we did chapters. We had to think of five chapters and then write more drafts but with chapters. Than we typed our books. Then we did captions and pictures. Finally we edited and revised. At the end The whole grade had a share. The last thing we did was posted our books. Now were done!

 

It was one of my favroite projects EVER!!! My favroite part was looking for pictures because i like looking for thing
