Final Design Process Reflection

Name: Sofia S

Group members: Me, Brady, Sammy

My group first started off with 4 disc magnets on the bottom of the car. Two of each disc magnets were on the side of the car. There were 20 ring magnets on the track. The ring magnets were lined up with 10 ring magnets on one side, and 10 ring magnets on the other side of the track.   

A problem my group faced was we had different types of magnets on our car and our track. Therefore,  we knew we had to change our magnets to be the same if we wanted the car to float.

Our final design had 2 strip magnets on the car and the on the track. It worked because we had the same magnets on the car and the track. We also made sure that the magnets lined up, and they did! But one thing that was off is the car would sometimes tilt, but then we fixed that by rearranging the magnets. We also rearranged it many times, but then we finally fixed it.                                                                                                                                           

We felt proud that we got the car to float, and then  again when we put marbles in a cup on the car, it worked! That made us feel really proud. We are very happy our project worked although there were a few mistakes. Put what made it fun was how much work we did, that project was really fun and it was all worth it in the end. I hope we do a new fun project like this one again.
