Final Design Process Reflection

By: Milo

Group members: Jordan, and Dylan

The materials our group used at first was two long strip magnets, masking tape, 4 north and south magnets, and two short strip magnets. Our groups first design was putting about two layers of long strip magnets layed down on the bottom of the track on the right and left side. On the train we put two short strip magnets on the bottom of the train.

The first problem we had was the train was not levitating high enough. Our groups solution was putting five long strip magnets on each side of the track. When we tried it again it held 55 marbles.                                                                                                                                                                       

Our last design was putting about seven layers of long strip magnets on each side of the track. On the train car we put two short strip magnets one on each side.

I felt nervous, and happy. I felt nervous when it was our turn to show how strong are train was by putting marbles in the cup that was taped to the top of the cup. I felt happy when our car was able to hold 82 magnets.
