For our first design of the train there was one disc magnet in the middle of the train bottom. The train was a foam square. For the track there was one strip magnet and on that strip magnet there was ten other disk magnets  the strip magnet was a long black magnet.

When we were making the maglev train track we used way too much tape. The magnets we used were wrong because it has to line up with the magnet correctly to work.

Our final design worked because we took off the disk magnets on the bottom of the train and replaced it with two strip magnets on both edges of the train and they were lined up correctly.

When we worked on the project I had many feelings like exited, worried, and happy. I was exited because it was our first try to make it levitate.  I was worried because I was thinking “What if it doesn’t work?”and “What will we do?” I was also happy because it finally worked and we put forty eight marbles in the cup on top of the train.
