Our first track we planed is very different from the one we have now. We thought that’s if we placed stript magnets all over the track on the south side and put the train on the south side then the train would levitate. But we were wrong. Also on our track we only used stript magnets and we layed about four on our track.

Our first track plan

 

 

We had a lot of problems. But, one stood out if them all. We only got one side to levitate. We tried everything but nothing worked. Then someone in my group had a really good idea. “ We should flip this magnet on the track and maybe it would levitate!”  The person said. So we did that and then……………….. It didn’t work. So and then someone else in my group noticed that the train and the tracks don’t line up. So then we lined it up and then………… It worked!!!

My group working together

 

For our final design we did  lot of things. There were two stript magnets in our track far apart from each other.   On our train we put strip magnets on opposite sides. We had stript magnets that reached both sides of our train. e only had one layer. 

 

 

In the beginning I felt really frustrated because we only got one side to float. When we tried to get it to float but it didn’t then I was mad and sad. But then when we got both sides to levitate, I was really happy!</span
