A maglev train has no wheels.  It floats over the track track and goes really fast.  It works by electromagnets and that’s how it moves. My groups plan was to have 12 circle magnets on the track. For the train we used five circular magnets. This did not work so we had to change this plan.

Today we used two strip magnets for the train and for the track.  This worked because the magnets were even. Then we used twelve circular magnets for the track and one strip magnet in the middle of the track.  For the train, we used five circular magnets. These ideas didn’t work because they were not lined up correctly.

My experience with my group was good because we all listened to each other, shared ideas and did not fight.  We talked to each other to figure out how to make the train float and that worked well. It was challenging to get the train to float.
